Monday (yea, I'm a bit behind on the blog), a big change in Abby and Emma’s life and mine and Sheri’s as well…the first day of Kindergarten. We had to get up very early – 5:45 am – the same time I get up every Sunday. The girls are scheduled to be picked up by the school bus. But on the first day, we drove them (driving your child to school the first day is a bit of a Friendswood tradition, as well.) We got their early, and good thing. Traffic around the school was an absolute disaster. We parked about two blocks away to stay out of the parking lot mess. We took the girls to the classrooms (we decided to separate them) and got them settled. There was another mother dropping her child off in Emma’s class who started to cry. Expected, I suppose, it’s a big life-changing day Sheri did okay. I think she was just nervous and a little worried.
That afternoon, when the bus dropped the girls off at the corner, Sheri was there to meet them. They said they had a good day. Later, when I got home, I asked Abby how her day was. Here answer, “It was boring.” I told her, it will get better once you get into your regular routine. She’s going to be fine!
A big day, a big change, and a right of passage all in one day.
