Kindergarten Diva

 Kindergarten Diva...yes, my child did choose to wear her Kindergarten Diva shirt to school on the first day.  We asked her if she even knew what diva meant. Ha! Caroline had a wonderful first week of school.  We were so excited each day to pick her up and ask her about her exciting day.

We had a Mommy/Daughter Day a few weeks before school started. They do assessments before school starts now, so we started our Mommy/Daughter day off at school, then a trip to Children's Place, and finished up at Panera Bread.  We are so much alike sometimes it is crazy!

 Monday morning my stomach was in knots!  You would have thought I was the one starting Kindergarten.  I did not let me internal feelings show though.  Caroline was so excited to see her teacher, Mrs.Williamson.  It was a quick drop-off.  We now go through school rules, supplies, etc. at Open House.  We took a few pics and then off went Caroline to play with her new friends.  She has told stories that are hilarious, enjoyed trying new foods in the cafeteria, branched out and tried new extracurricular activities, and already made a few new best friends.  We are so excited to see her each afternoon and hear all her fun stories about her day!  Mrs. Williamson has already shown us that she is a wonderful teacher, and she is instilling in Caroline a love for learning.

There are a few funny moments of her first week that I do not want to forget:

-she had to test out the water fountain first thing the night of open house
-she told her teacher she was going to be awesome because she lets them eat snacks
-she has new "best friends" and if you do not talk to her she cannot be your friend because she does not know your name
- she fell off the swing the second day of school and had to go to the nurse's office
-she told on a little boy because he was taking his scissors and trying to cut his tongue...I told her not to tattle on people and she told me the next time she would just let him continue to cut his nose or tongue
-she likes to walk other kids to the nurse's room, office, cafeteria, etc.   (she is mother hen and I think her teacher already knows it)
-she wants to ride the school bus so badly
- you can tell she is already enjoying music and library
-the sprinklers went off on the first week of school while she was waiting to be picked up from school
- her teacher commented on her daily she that she was such a sweet child

She is hilarious when she comes home to tell us her daily stories!  We can tell she is having a wonderful time, being challenged, making friends, and enjoying school.  We are so proud of her and love her dearly!
