This is a week to celebrate some awesome milestones. Beginning with Ashlynne's first year in middle school, this year also marks Brinton's last year in Elementary School! He is a big 5th grader, king of the school and totally ready for anything that comes his way. He will have the same teacher he had last year so I think the transition (which can be a little rough for him, year to year) should be pretty smooth. I totally forgot to get a picture with his teacher last night at Back to School night....I'm going to have to put that on the to do list.
Elise is a 3rd grader this year. She got a wonderful teacher, who she also had for science/social studies last year, as her teacher for this year. We were able to go to Back to School Night last night and bring her supplies and meet with her teacher for a little bit. Her teacher gave her a huge hug and told her how happy she was to have her in her class again this year. Elise had a smile from ear to ear.
Lastly, and this is a big one, JULIANNA STARTED KINDERGARTEN! FINALLY! She is so excited and soooooo ready to be there. She worked really hard for me all last year with our homeschooling efforts but her personality will really thrive in a classroom setting. Last night we were able to get a little preview of her classroom and meet her teacher at Back to School Night. She was so excited about all the toys and centers and the posters on the wall. She said "Mom, I think I'm really gonna LOVE this place." It was so cute. Her teacher has been a kindergarten teacher for over 26 years and she was just the sweetest lady ever, just like I remember my own Kindergarten teacher (about 25 years ago!)I am so excited for Julianna to finally get out there and be a real Kindergartner and just have fun.
This morning she was the first one to hop out of bed. She was dressed and ready to go in no time. She hugged me a couple of times a told me she would miss me. That really tugged on my heart strings. I had this idea that since I knew how ready she was to go to Kindy and she's my fourth chickie to leave the nest that I would be totally okay with her going...no tears, I was wrong. At the bus stop she was just so happy and I was so excited for her. I tried to hold her back from the bus for a minute so that I could get a picture of her getting on and it was all I could do to hold her back. She was so ready. As she climbed on the bus she flashed me a winning smile and said "I love you momma" and they were off and then my tears began to flow. Just a couple, small little tears that I quickly wiped away but they were there. I'm so proud of my little peanut, I hope she has a fantastic day in Kindergarten.
