First Day of Kindergarten

<

Her first day of Kindergarten has come and gone.

She picked out numerous outfits to wear for the big day and informed me that she "is into style!"

I think I was more anxious than she was.

I feel like it was just yesterday when my oldest started kindergarten and he is now a third grader.

Time is passing quickly. I'm feeling it. 

She went with ease and was so excited.

After she said she isn't sure she will like it because she can't eat or drink for three hours. 

Torture. For sure.

Out of the blue in the evening she said "what does disrespectful mean?"

I asked her if her teacher said she was being disrespectful and she said yes.

Then I explained what it meant, and she rebuked her statement and told me her teacher actually said it to another boy in the class. Sounds about right. ;)

Her second day was not so fun. She had a hard time. I had a hard time.

I thought it would be really easy to let her go. To have time apart.

It has been different than I anticipated.

She ended up staying, and had good things to say. 

She mentioned that she was really good today and that yesterday she wasn't so good.

Hmm. Disrespectful comes to mind.

She loves having homework to sit next to her brother and do.

I love seeing her want to learn.

I also love seeing her grow. 

As hard as that may be.

It's a good thing.
