I can not believe I have a child in Elementary School! Noelle is such a doll. She snuck up on me in the kitchen on her first day of school and said "Yes!!" with the full fist pump and everything. I jumped a little because I wasn't expecting her to be right behind me, "what Noelle?" She responded " oh, haha I'm just es-kited about school today!" and ran off. Hayley came to watch Noah and Chloe and after a very slow morning of twiddling our thumbs waiting for 9:30 to roll around, we were off!
a little twirl on the trapezze before school to calm the ...
...nerves! i can just see the worry in her little face!
Noelle was very excited until we entered the busy classroom. We sat at a table and made a headband for her with her name on it, and she was very quite.
Then they sat down for the teacher to read them a story. The story was about a mama raccoon kissing the hand of her little raccoon going off to school so that when he got sad he could press his kissed hand to his heart and know his mama loves him. All the moms standing around started crying and the kids all of a sudden looked nervous and panicky!!!
The next day was her first normal day of school and she was good! A little nervous but excited to see her teacher again
and she was off!
and I followed! hahaha
Aunty Hayley and I got her presents for being so good on her first day of school, and we went to the park and had milkshakes!
The next day was supposed to be friday, but there was a major power outage and school was canceled. So right now it is Monday morning and Noelle is at her second day of school. I am desprately trying to resist the urge to go and check/spy on her! Who is she sitting with at lunch and who is going to take her to the bathroom :( but like Aunty Hayley says, Noelle is more capable than most adults and i should not worry!
