How did this little preschooler...
Turn into a kindergartner?!...
A new phase of life began today. No tears where shed, just hugs and kisses filled with excitement about the future and what God has planned for Karoline! I was thinking today about what was wrong with me, with so many moms crying as they left their kids at school, but I think I have my mom to thank. I just remember with each new phase of life my mom never cried. She was so excited for me and knew that the new phase of life was the best thing for me... so no tears! We were all just too excited!
Anderson stayed with mom and dad last night so TJ and I could get up with Karoline and focus on her and both take her to school. We were walking in when some good friends where walking out and took a picture for us and another friend walked by... seeing a familiar face was wonderful!
Karoline walked write in the room, found her spot to put her back pack and lunch box and started coloring and talking to her friend, Daphne, from our church that sits at her table (a God thing!). Her teacher Mrs. Goodwin is awesome and we are thankful for God blessing us with an amazing teacher for Karoline.
So by the end of the day I was ready for her to be home. Mom, Dad, Anderson and I walked to the bus stop and waited. She was so excited to ride the bus and got off smiling! Her bus driver was so nice. I did a little interview with her so she could tell you about her day:
Did you sleep well last night?
"I fell asleep like at 9:00 because I was a little too excited."
Was it early when you had to get up this morning? "Yes, wonder why they make you wake up so early, I'm really tired"
Where you nervous when Daddy and I left your class?
"No"
What was your favorite thing about your teacher? "That she doesn't have to make you read at first, you get to listen to her read"
Who are your friends in your class? "Brianna, Meredith, Daphne, and Jada (she's new)"
Do you like making new friends and why? "Yes, sometimes you get nervous at first but then you get kind of use to it."
What was your favorite part of playing on the playground? "They have this slide that looks kind of like a water slide at Myrtle Waves, like the ski jump one, but it's not. Also, there's a fun bridge you get to walk off and on to see this puddle. We can't step in it but I like to look at it and it makes you feel happy."
What was your favorite part during lunch? "That they give you like 35 minutes to eat and they also let you finish it when it's time to go. "
Who did you sit next to at lunch? "I sat by a boy on the right and a girl on the left. They were strangers." New friends? "Not yet, they are strangers still right now."
What did you do in PE? "I can't believe I'm telling you this but practically nothing. But next time I can NOT wear a dress or skirt, okay, you have to remember that."
What was your favorite park about riding the bus? "Watching you guys taking pictures and videos. My favorite part of walking home was telling you all about my school and how we do stuff and learn."
What was your FAVORITE part of the whole day? "Riding the bus home!"
Did you miss me at all while you were at school? "Yes, I missed playing too. Like they have toys but sometimes you can't play with them because you have work to do. How can that be possible?"
