I can't believe it... my little baby is a kindergartner now. Where did the time go!?Belle has been really excited to start kindergarten too. We've been excited for her but have been trying not to blow it up like we did preschool last year. I didn't want her to start translating our excitement into anxiety.
But she really seems to have understood that this is a big deal and a big step for her. It means she's a big kid now in REAL school. She also had started to get bored in preschool and wanted a challenge. So she's been really anxious to start.
We had a rough night the night before, Belle woke up with a nightmare and I could tell in the morning she hadn't slept as well as I would have liked. So I was a bit worried. But after the initial morning grumps she was fine. Unfortunately we did end up being about 20 minutes late but the teacher was fine with it, being as it was the first day and all.
The drop off at school went fine but I still spent most of the day worrying. Not that I don't trust Belle to be good and all, just that it was the first day in a new class and I worried. Hey I'm a mom, its our job!
But my worrying seemed to be for no reason. I picked her up at 3:30 and she was on the play ground. She comes running up and the first thing she says to me is "Mommy, kindergarten is AWESOME!"
She had a good day. I took her back to work with me for an hour or two and then we headed home. She stayed in a great mood the rest of the day too. Such an amazing difference a year can make.
I wish I could explain to her just how proud I am of her, how happy I am for her, and how seeing her do so well means more to me then I can ever explain. She's such a smart girl and wonderful person, so fully of joy and cleverness... and spunk. :) She's just the most amazing person I have ever met, I feel so blessed that she is my kid.
