She likes it! Hey Mommy!

Day One



Day Two

The first day of school was a success! She had some ups & downs but overall it was good. She forgot her lunch box...twice. Both times she was either taken to it or it was returned to her. Good thing I put her name on it.

She made a new little friend named "Madison" & a little boy was nice to her. She made sure I KNEW that he was NOT her "BOYFRIEND". !LOL! She fell down on the sidewalk & skinned her knee. Then she told me that she didn't cry & it wasn't bleeding either. She was excited because they got to go to the library & have 2 books read to them by their teacher. They got to color & sing songs as well.

After school we went to Wal-Mart to pick up a few things. I let her choose a folder to put her papers in & keep them nice. She chose pink & decorated it with stickers.

The second day she made another new friend named "Jasmin". Jasmin helper her tie her shoe & sat next to her at lunch. They read a story called "The Kissing Hand". It was something about a racoon that has it's hand kissed by it's Mommy. They made & colored a book & she was proud because she got to cut out her own pages. She also told me she had "gym" class. She didn't call it that. She told me they were running & playing games. I didn't know it was "gym" until she said that they played in the room where they eat lunch. When I opened her backpack to see what she had done, she said that the kids liked her folder decorated with stickers. Everyone did, except for one boy that said it was stupid. When I asked if she said anything she told me "No! I acted like he wasn't there". Then she said it isn't nice to say the word "stupid". That is something we had been working on this past summer. Nice to know it worked...at least for now.

She told me that she, not Jasmin, was the only one that didn't have money for milk OR chocolate milk. I told her I didn't know how much milk was & would have to ask someone, hoping she would forget about it. She didn't forget & reminded me today as I was packing her lunch that she wanted chocolate milk for lunch. I dug around my bottomless pit of a purse & found $1 in change. I promptly placed into her Hello Kitty coin purse & placed it on top of her sandwich container. I figure that would tell me how much milk costs at school. When I was little it was only 10 cents...if memory serves me correctly. That was only 25+ years ago.

It was comforting to see her not stop & ask me for a hug before I dropped her off at the playground today. Instead I said "Good-bye!" & she turned with a quick wave & said "Bye MOM!". Then she was rapidly met by, who I could only assume was, "Jasmin" due to the description I was given of her yesterday. My little one however had to stop & "see" her sister 3 times over the wall before we could return to our car.

The first day the little one cried & screamed. The second day there were a few tears but they ceased before I could finish fastening her car seat. Today there were no tears at all. Thank GOODNESS for that. We came home & immediately I hear "Pay MOMMY PAY!" She hasn't mastered the sound of the letter "L" yet. For the first time ever today she helped me pick up toys in the playroom without me asking her to. Maybe there is hope for her yet. :-)
