First Day of School

Kailey first day of school yesterday was an adventure. Pre-k for another year. I didn't want her to go to kindergarten until she was 6. But I am glad we held her back. She was grown up so much during the summer and was ready for school. She was very excited to start school in the new Early Childhood Center. She got Mrs. Williams. Last year it was kind of a rocky start with the teacher, just say she wasn't our favorite teacher. But this year I requested Mrs. Williams so I am happy. I ask her how her first day went and if she liked her teacher, and she said," Oh ya much better she is so nice."

Lunch in hand and ready to go. She is a picky eater so she will probably be taking a lunch everyday, so I can see how much she eats. Which today she came home and said that she wasn't hungry and didn't eat anything. I wasn't to happy with her. So hopefully she will do better next week.

Okay there is big problem on 34th Street. The school was obvious not prepared for 679 students in the new building. So traffic was terrible. Didn't think living in a small town we would have a traffic problem but we do and hopefully they resolve it soon.

Almost there.

After 45 minutes we are finally in "school zone". Almost there and then we had to park our vehicle on the side of the road and walk a mile across a pasture with a 23lb child on my hip and two bags of school supplies and we finally made it to the building. Whoo.

The First Day

I gave you a little wink and smile

As you entered my room today

For I know how hard it is to leave

And know your child must stay.

You've been with her for 4 years now

And have been a loving guide,

Bust now, the time has come

To leave her at my side.

Just know that as you drive away

And the tears down your cheeks may flow

I'll love her as I would my own

And help her her learn and grow.

For as a parent, I too know

How quickly years do pass

Because one day I hand my turn

To take my child to class.

So please put your mind at ease

And cry those tears no more

For I will love her and take her in

When you leave her at my door.

Mrs. Williams The traffic after school wasn't any better. We didn't leave the house until 2:30 because Zach doesn't like his car set and I didn't want to wait in a still vehicle for an hour.


Finally asleep after I pulled out the Elmo dvd and we finally got Kailey in car an hour later. I know ridiculous.

Kailey went to Mandi's after school for cookies.

Kailey skinned up her knee again on the first day of school. She did it last year on the first day of school. She is she her dad's kid definitely. Kailey had a "good" day at school. She said that's all she going to say that it was good. She doesn't let me know much and when I ask her she just short answers me so I guess it's not any of my business.LOL. But today she did say she had fun and cried alittle bit but had fun. This morning wasn't very fun, she didn't want to get up and she was cold and her knee hurt and she didn't want to go to school because she missed me to much. So I think bedtime is going to be 8 because she was in bed by 9 and was still cranky this morning. Hopefully tough love will pay off and she will be okay. It didn't help that Zach was up to and was cranky and cried until I picked him up. I hate that Mike has to be a work so early it would be nice to have his help. It is going to be adjusted for all of us. Zach was on good schedule and know it is all screwed up so he was in bed at 8:30 last night and was up at 6:00 this morning. Well I lived and learned because he is not allowed to go to bed before 9:00 again. So he is taking a late second nap. So it could be a long year.
