First day of school!! Eveyone was so excited. Especially little Maddie. Since March she has been asking me when she would get to go to kindergarten. She was tired of preschool and wanted to be a big girl. We told her she would have to wait until after swim team. For about the last month she has asked everday when swim team would be over. Finally we had our last swim even, the weekend, and school.
For Kindergarten the first week back the kids only come one day so that the teachers can evaluate them and put the classes together. Maddie's day was Monday which worked out perfect so that everyone could start on the same day.
As Maddie got ready she and Samantha were suck like glue. Samantha being the doting big sister and helping her out with lunch, backpack, and clothes. We all walked into school and everyone was eager to help drop Maddie off. When we got to the room the teacher looked at her and said, "Maddie! are you supposed to be here today?" My heart dropped. Had I gotten the days mixed up? I mouthed "Is she not supposed to be here?" The teacher shook her head "No" and then said, "We wouldn't want to do that to her come on in Maddie!" I was so grateful to that teacher. To know what this means to a 5 year old and to welcome her in even with the mommy being off. Such a blessing.
Eveyone had a wonderful day. Maddie came home tired and happy. As we walked home from the bus stop she told me that the best part of the day was being with her new friends and the worst part was having to walk home from the bus!!
