First Days

WE survived our first days of school with flying colors!!! I was really unsettled about sending Cami to school but after studying about all the schools in the area and waivering her into a different school I was excited. Cami planned for several weeks to wear leggings and a skirt which seemed really foreign to me first of all that she cared what she was wearing, and second of all, are leggings tights or pants?... In the end we came up with an outfit that she was happy with and dreamed about wearing for days. I just smiled and wondered where that came from.
She has also been REALLY excited about her sparkly hello kitty backpack. She has shown it to everyone the minute they have been at our house.
The first day they have a parent come and help the kindergartner do a treasure hunt for an hour. The second day they are on their own. It made for a really smooth transition with no tears on any one's part. She has a really gentle sensitive teacher who uses music a lot in teaching. It is a perfect learning style for her. He favorite thing so far is recess and apparently she can read...she came home the second day and said lets read and she did...Good for her and oops for me not knowing she could do it.

Cami is ready to go... forget the pictures!

Cami too excited to wait at the school door-yes she is plugging her ears...of course the school bell is loud and that is going to take some patience and ear plugs on her part...

Taryn started school the next week and the wait was killer. She got up each morning asking if she could go to school yet. When she finally got to go she just ran right in and I had to call her back out to even get a picture. She is definitely a child that enjoys life and I am glad school is part of that.

Ready to go...very early...

Taryn after being called back for a picture...incidentally what is with ME of all people having girls who want and beg to wear play dresses and skirts? They honestly LIKE them and I just can't do anything about it....maybe it's a phase.
