We have another kindergartner

Yes we do! Mags started kindergarten today. It really just kind of went like any other school day would. She wasn't nervous, not really excited, just ready. At the last minute yesterday, they added another kindergarten class to her school and moved some kids around, so I wanted to be sure to take her up to school today and make sure she went to the right spot, alas, I was met at the door by the "escort" who stole... I mean, took, her away from me and walked her to her classroom. I still have a hard time adjusting to our elementary school and the lack of every day communication with the teachers, but I am trying.

3 hours later I picked Mags up in carline and she had a huge smile on her face. She was happy. She said she had fun with her friends, got to color and her teacher was nice. I guess that is really what it is all about. After last year's experience with kindergarten, I am looking forward to a fresh start and a whole new perspective (mine) on things.

Mags, I am very proud of who you are growing into. I can't believe the little girl who cried every day at drop off and would not go in front of the classroom for the holiday show, or even talk to your teacher for months, just two years ago, now runs off to kindergarten without a thought. Your confidence and willingness to try new things (with a dear friend nearby of course,) is a pleasure to watch. I am looking forward to this exciting new chapter with you!
