Random Wednesday

Princess had a wonderful first two days of kindergarten! She’s doing great in class and is loving Ms. Dale as her teacher. Ms. Dale was also Dude’s kindergarten teacher - she’s a wonderful teacher and we’re so excited she’s still there for Keira. As for the first day . . . nope, not a tear was shed. No, I’m not heartless - actually quite the opposite. So why didn’t I cry? Princess has been going to full day preschool since she was 3 . . . and this whole summer she was in the kindergarten room for summer camp, just not with Ms. Dale. So on Monday, nothing was different really - except for the new outfit We took her to the same room, said good morning to Ms. Dale, and she was off! Ya . . . I thought about her being an actual kindergartner, but it’s different for some reason with her than it was with Dude. Dude always seemed so small and timid and he’s so sensitive, but all boy at the same time. Princess . . . she can SOOOOOOOOOO take care of herself, and everyone around her - just ask her She was so excited and not nervous, so it helped me out a lot. So there you have it . . . she’s in KINDERGARTEN and loving every minute of it. What’s she most excited about? Reading . . . she can’t wait to learn to read better so she can read her own books instead of us having to help her out!

We had Dude’s open house last night (he starts 3rd grade tomorrow). We got to meet his teachers, which was wonderful! He’s in a room with 2 teachers that share the class . . . one teaches in the morning and the other in the afternoon. I think it’s AWESOME! That way, it doesn’t get boring . . . the teachers don’t get burned out and the kids get a fresh look at things. Dude is very excited for school to start . . . Hubby and I are taking him golfing today on his last day of summer since I have the day off as well . . . Dude woke up this morning and said he wished school started TODAY! What?! Dude is growing up . . . I knew the time would come when he’d rather spend time with his friends than us, but already? Boohoo. He’s very excited that his buddy Josh is in his class this year, too . . . good times ahead for Dude! Oh, and I won’t be posting any pictures of his first day of school outfit. He, of course, doesn’t need any new clothes . . . I mean what more does an 8 year old boy need than 8 pair of camo shorts and shirts that don’t match?

With school actually starting tomorrow, that means we have to get up earlier so Dude can catch the bus - ick. It’s only 30 minutes earlier, but still - ick.

We’re off to the course! I hope you all have a wonderful day - it’s a beauty here . . . 85 and sunny, slight breeze, very little humidity - woo hoo!
