OUR "KINNYGARDENER"
Well, today was the first day of school for our first born! Bella started Kindergarten at Fredericksen Elementary in Dublin. Her teacher is Mrs. Moirao and from what I've seen, she's an absolutely pleasure! Big Disney fan too!
Bella has the early bird schedule so she gets to go to school from 8:30 - 12:15 every day. She was so excited as she grabbed her new Tinkerbell backpack and her Bratz lunchbox and got ready for school this morning.
When we walked into the classroom the first thing that the teacher pointed out was her cubby hole and her new seat. She's changing all the names on everything so they say Bella instead of Isabella. (We only call her that when she gets in trouble!)
There are 20 kids in the class and 19 of the 20 showed up today. That's a pretty large class of 4-5 year olds for one teacher! I've gotta' hand it to ANYONE who has that much patience.
Daddy video taped the whole thing while I was snapping as many pictures as possible. With Lauren and Lexie in tow, it was a little difficult to get all the good shots in. In fact, we had to give Lexie a backpack and lunchbag too so she didn't feel left out. It was very cute how she wanted to be like her big sister.Daddy took off the morning for this event and we went out to breakfast to treat Lexie and Lauren to some special one-on-one time. Boy, it sure feels different when there are only 2 kids in tow. How on earth are we going to manage with 4 kids? We'll find out in 3 weeks!
P.S. No, we didn't cry. I think that sending Bella to preschool for the first time was the hardest on me. I bawled my head off that day. This was a day like any other - and Bella made it easy as she said "Bye Mommy, Bye Daddy" and went back to coloring.
