kindergarten roundup

sportin the jean jacket she requested (and received) for her fifth birthday.

  

she came up with the poses on her own!

the lu drew this before roundup.  she said it was her (with the sad face), being greeted by her teacher, and me  (purple) smiling & telling her she was going to have fun.  art therapy anyone?!?!?

my girl had kindergarten roundup on thursday of this last week. just an hour long and the entire family went. i was in tears about it on & off the entire day. i was super worried i was going to be a sobbing mess but our 8 month & 2 1/2 year old worked wonders keeping me distracted. we sat in the gym & listened to the teachers & principal & pto volunteers & whatnot. there are 2 morning classes and 1 afternoon class - not more than 80 kindergartners total. everything was very low key and it was just a very, very different experience than we would have had in the bubble. in a good, much lower key, real world kinda way. just the lu & i go on tuesday to drop off her supplies & spend a bit more time with her teacher, Mrs. P. Mrs. P taught in the bubble for 17 years before moving here to CO (yes, our same bubble).  she is incredibly kind & even remembered us from our tour of the school back in the spring.  she was very glad that lu is in her class. as were we :) her first day is on wednesday!
