Start to Kindergarten

We did Reese's favorite meal and I set the table up for a back to school dinner. We prayed for Reese and ate some yummy food. Salad, cheese ravioli, and fruit. Reese had three bowls full. We got her bathed, read three back to school books and ready for bed. She said her tummy felt funny. :)

 

In the morning I made her pancakes with bananas. We got dressed and at her request we curled her hair. She looked so big and so cute.

 

 

Right before we were leaving I let her sit on the couch and watch tv. After a couple of minutes she says "mommy" looking at me with BIG sad eyes and said "I don't want to go to kindergarten." We tried a pep talk but tears soon followed. Aaron tried to step in and she ran from him when we went to get her in the car. She cried all the way (five minutes) to school. Reese hopped from side to side when we tried to get her out. It was the saddest thing ever. I felt so bad for her. We got her settled down some on the walk to school. Inside the classroom she seemed ok, not happy but ok. I took a couple of pictures and left.

 

 

We have had some stories this week and I think my heart is still a little tender with having her gone all day. After four days she finally came home and said she loved it. Kindergarten is truly a transition for our whole family. I'm very happy our first weekend is coming.
