On Tuesday, we made our first quick trip to your school! This was an opportunity to meet some of the teacher (we didn’t see yours), meet the principals, and just walk around the outside of the building. I was so proud of you for speaking loud and clearly when they would ask your name and how you were doing. You were really excited and are going to love school!!
After the school visit, we went to Meijer for school supplies shopping. It was me, you, and your mom and it was such a special trip. You were so excited to pick out supplies and put them in the cart. Your mom was so happy as I think she has been waiting for this trip her whole adult life! YOu’re going to be the cutest little Kindergartener!
Week 289 – August 9 – Augut 15
All of your school activities are starting this week and it’s getting real. You’re going to Kindergarten! I’m so happy for you, but also really sad that you’re growing up. We had your meet the teacher day and she seems great.
You will have to wear a mask in school, which is so bizarre but the world we live in right now. You don’t know any different, so it’s not that big of a deal for you.
You loved your gentle start day! You went to close for only a couple of hours with about 1/3 of your class. Your favorite part was recess and you also were asked to draw a member of your family – you drew yourself 🙂
Week 290 – August 16 – Augut 22
You had your first day of school on Tuesday, August 17! And you loved it! Well, maybe not all of the pictures mom took of you outside before you left, but that’s just what she loves doing! I took off that morning to make sure I could go and drop you off at school around 9. I have to say I was pretty concerned that you might have a hard time leaving us (or mom) and being away for a little while, but you did great! We parked and walked you up to your classroom and left with your teacher. You were the first one there and got to stand on the green dot! It seemed like you didn’t mind us leaving you one bit! I was sad, happy, and so proud of you! We picked you up at 11:45 and you said it was the greatest thing ever! You named all of your best friends and told us you had music time, cut out and colored a bear, went potty (well, you said you tried because all of the kids were going, but you didn’t really go). We went to Dairy Queen afterwards for some well-deserved ice cream.
You love school, but i’m wondering how long that will last 🙂
Week 291 – August 23 – Augut 29
It’s week 2 of school and you’re still loving it. Stella is your best friend and you both have the same shoes and sometimes wear your hair the same. Because of my flexible work schedule, I enjoy getting to take you to school and pick you up on some of the days.
Granny and PawPaw are coming to visit this weekend!
Week 292 – August 30 – September 6
We had a nice visit with granny and pawpaw. I love spending time with them and I don’t know how many more visits we have with them. They are both aging and granny’s health is not doing so well and i don’t think it’s getting better. She also fell on a baby gate while she was here and hurt her wrist and side and had to go to the emergency room. She ended up okay, but it was kind of scary. I was trying to find little projects for pawpaw to do as he doesn’t like just sitting around. He helped me fixed a few door hinges and we also put on a new storm door on the front. The storm door looks great and it’s nice to have light coming through and will be nice in the fall with the cool air coming in.
