First Day of School




Molly's first comment when she got out of the car today "I loved it...I want to go back." Good Molly...only 179 more days to go HA! Second comment " I did not learn how to read today." We told her she would learn how to read in Kindergarten. I love her brain!!

Well, she survived! I knew she would. We survived too. I did not cry. We are so lucky to have such a wonderful school district to attend. The school where Molly is is only Pre-K through 2nd. Her teacher seems wonderful.

She then showed us the candy she got with her care cash. C.A.R.E. is the school wide behavior reward system. I have to keep questioning her about what she did. These are the random things she has said this afternoon... she slid her lunch tray down the line and had chocolate milk to drink, played on the playground, put her head down on her table for a little rest time, learned to walk on the second square away form the wall in the hall, hips and lips, colored a picture of her house, read the story Lilly wore a Red Dress and The Kissing Hand (sooo sweet!), went to see PE in the gym, took a tour of the room, saw the library (which she asked this morning when we took her in "do we get to go to the bookstore"...I think she meant the library); this will be an ongoing post I am sure.

It is so hard not to know what exactly she is doing in the classroom next to mine. But nice to give her some independence. We are so proud of her!

My guess for her this afternoon was that she would be exhausted. NO!! She is full of energy. Maybe by Friday she will be tired. Will, Mommy and Daddy sure are!

Oh, Molly! We are so proud of you! I just knew you would be a champ at this kindergarten thing! Just cross your fingers that McCanless has as much of a wonderful first day as you! We love you and are so happy for you! Have a great 179 more days! Love, Aunt Kerri, Uncle Mel, McCanless and Mary Clare
