My baby started Kindergarten on September 1st. She was very excited to get on the bus, and didn't even look back. She got off the bus at the end of the day smiling too. Each day I ask her what she has learned. So far, two things stand out. A new friend has taught her how to hula hoop. Abbey has gotten very good very quickly. The second thing she has learned is that sniffing markers kills "brain parts." She told me that she tries to remember not to sniff the markers, but sometimes she forgets. She will try harder next time.
There are many parents I speak to who are loving their five year olds being in school all day. They love their free time. I must admit that it is much easier to go places. Just going to the grocery store seems easy without Abbey around. However, easier is not better. I miss the chaos during the day of having all of them home. Today, I am going to pick her up from school rather than have her take the bus home, just so I can see her a half hour sooner. I miss my Abbey.
