First Day of Kindergarten

We survived the first day of Kindergarten. By "we" I mean Christopher and I, not Elizabeth. She was so excited that when the bus came, she didn't even say goodbye!! Just hopped on and me and her brother were just a passing moment in her life.

As we walked back to the house, Christopher started crying. He was totally pissed off that HE didn't get to go too! "don't like you"

After twenty minutes, he finally came in from the porch and was happy to have control over the TV. After the cab came, we went to the school and there was a fairly short parent meeting with the Principal, school State Trooper, Nurse, and the PTA which they call Home School Association (HSA) here.

The parents then split off according to grade where they had different speakers in different stations around the school. The kindergartners were in the library listening to a local Iroquois man who was showing them different tools and weapons from the area. One was very cool, a snapping turtle that had been made into a musical rattle! The shell had seeds in it and the head was mounted on the end as decoration.

Elizabeth was on the floor to the left of me. I could see her but she could not see me. She was desperately scanning the crowd for me and getting a little flushed and teary eyed thinking I wasn't there.

Then she spotted me. Happy girl in her new school shirt which was given to each kid in the school purchased by the HSA for all the kids.

We went to the classroom for a story before lunch.

After lunch Christopher and I came home and she continued on with her day. I was planning on staying all day but he was getting cranky.

Finally my little girl comes home. Funny, the paper says bus drop off was 3:27 and by god, she was dropped off at exactly 3:27! Somehow I don't see that happening every week!
