Although the first day of school was a about a month ago, I have not yet shared the details of the very important day. This is our most important first day of school yet--Amelia went to Kindergarten. I feel like she has been ready for two years, so now she is super ready. Dave, being the cute and fabulous Dad he is, went to Target (where he never goes) and picked out all of Amelia's special school supplies. Even a pink back pack, Hello Kitty lunch box, and a pink water bottle.
I felt like I missed out a little on the whole first day experience. Amelia drove with her Daddy and I followed. However I could not find parking on the very busy first day. So I came late with Max and Miles in tow. School had already started and the parents were already being ushered out of the classroom. I gave my sweet daughter a quick hug and kiss and was off. I was reassured because we feel great about her school and know that she is anxious to learn.
In fact just 3 weeks into school and Amelia's teacher is giving her difficult addition and subtraction and has taught her the principle of multiplication. We were listening to classical music on the way home and Amelia said, "I love this. It makes me think of people on their tip toes. I can picture it like a movie in my head." I love that my kids are curious and love to learn. (parental bias may be included in any and all comments)
Max had his first day of school too. He is in Pre-K. Where he plays with the big kids. Max's new favorite thing he got upon entering school is a watch. He loves to tell us what time it is and especially what we do and do not have time for. It was a busy morning and he asked if we could go ride his bike at the park and I, in true mom fashion replied, "Max, I don't think we have time." To this his immediate response was, as he looked at his watch, "Yes, we do have time." And he was right. We did have time to ride his bike.
