I have been dreading/anticipating this day for a long time. You would have thought it was my first day of school because I did NOT sleep last night. I jumped out of bed an hour before my alarm clock after having nightmares. As most of you know, I am NOT a morning person so this is quite a big deal. When it was all said and done, I think it was pretty anti-climactic.
Part of this is due to the change of events we had last week. We have had Aubrie on a waiting list to go to a specialized public school that is run more like a private school. It draws from several school districts and has combined-grade classrooms and flexible grouping. Aubrie was still far down on the list two weeks before school was supposed to start so we prepared her for the neighborhood school. But then, the night before her first day (Thursday), we got a call inviting her to attend the specialized school. We jumped at the opportunity. So, her first day was not on Friday, but today. The rest of this school has actually been in session almost a week now. Because we missed all the meet-the-teacher activities, all the parents and their cameras, and there was no big yellow bus involved, it was all about business and less about drama. I think that was good for me.
What Kindergartner gets her own locker? Crazy!
Her teacher is Mrs. Comisar. Aubrie's especially excited to switch schools because her best friend happens to be in her class! Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of the pair.
She's feeling giddy at the end of the day! She said her favorite part was "everything"!
We had to celebrate and go out to eat for lunch. She chose, of course, pizza. Daddy was able to join us which made it extra special.
