My first born started Kindergarten! And since she has been going to school with me since she was 21 months old, it was quite an adjustment. For me. I spent the first two weeks of school glancing at her carseat and panicking thinking that I had left her somewhere. In fact, I had left her. At her NEW school. She loves it. She jumps in the car every day with a huge smile on her face. We had a few issues with some jerky kids making fun of her for singing(at inappropriate times, I later found out from the teacher), but whatever. She's over it. And I still believe she can tell all of those jackals to laugh when she brings home a Grammy. That's right. I said it.
With kindergarten comes fundraisers. Stella came home one day in saying that she had a Boosterthon meeting at school and all she had to do was get "prayers" and she would win prizes. Since she goes to public school, I was baffled. "Prayers?" I asked. "Hmm....maybe not prayers. Blessings! Yeah...blessings is what I need." After talking to another parent, I learned that she meant "pledges." Easy mistake. Anyway, since she told me that she had a deep distaste for P.E. because of "all the running," I have to say that I didn't have much faith in her ability to complete the task of running 35 laps for this fundraiser. I have seen the girl "play" soccer, after all. She totally proved me wrong! She did it and we couldn't have been more proud! She won a Boulder Ball for her efforts-an enormous, blow up ball that she climbs into and rolls down the hill in our back yard.
