Kindergarten

Oh my little Claire Bear. I couldn't love her more. I was wondering how I would do sending her off to Kindergarten. It was hard to be sad when she was so excited. For days and days before school started, she would ask over and over how many days were left until she started school. She was beyond excited. I told Anton I think part of it was, she and I went into Lilly's class every week last year, so I think she had an idea of what school was all about. That morning I told her she could have anything she wanted for lunch, and she chose McDonald's. After lunch we grabbed her backpack and off we went! She was so excited that they had the school mascot there, and was excited to see a few friends she knew. I kissed her goodbye, and in she went. It was like I had done it a dozen times before. She was ready, which really calmed my nerves and emotions. It was a strange week for me though. It was such an odd feeling being in my house all alone. I didn't know what to do! I was so happy when they got home from school that afternoon. I had dinner all ready in the crockpot, my house was all nice and clean and my parents came by to give them some Back to School treats and hear all about their day. It was a great day. This week has been totally normal, and I feel completely back to myself and we are in a good routine. Claire is loving everything about school. She is learning to read, and is catching on really quickly and she loves her teacher. I couldn't be happier for her!!
