school daze

monday will be our second full week of school.

so far, brette says she likes kindergarten better

than pre-school and she thinks her teacher, 

mrs. munterman, is nice. 

we don't get much else out of her. 

i try to ask her about her day but she's not

telling me a whole lot. 

i'm so excited for everything she'll learn this year.

i'm especially interested to see her begin to read. 

i hope she loves it as much as i do.

i look forward to the days when we can both sit down

with a good book before bed and read together.

ronnie or i have been making her lunch everyday and

i get to take her and pick her up from school.

there was a small mishap on the second day when they 

put her on a bus to go to an after-school program and then

there i am waiting forever in the car rider line, just

to have them tell me she wasn't there.

it freaked me out a little and it freaked brette out a lot.

she told me she cried on the bus because she 

thought i would never find her again.

poor thing. 

don't worry. 

i made sure both the school and the after-school program

knew that she was a car rider ONLY kid.

meanwhile, reid started at her new preschool in warrensburg too.

i was more nervous for this than for brette.

i obviously trust the school district and know 

brette is in a good safe place.

there's little unease about a new preschool because until you've 

been going there for awhile, you're can't be certain what goes on.

the best thing?

reid has not cried once.

when brette started school at three there were lots of tears. 

i was shocked when reid was like - peace out, mom and 

went off with complete strangers. 

and she seems to like it. 

she never complains about going or cries during drop off.

it makes leaving her somewhere new a little easier. 

i think both the girls have good starts to the year. 

i'll keep you posted. 

can you spot reid in her new class?
