School Ramblings

For those of you that have talked to me in the last week, you know that I've been a little stressed about Savannah going to all-day Kindergarten. I really would prefer for her to be in half-day, but our elementary school doesn't offer it. I do have the option in having her ride the bus to a nearby school so she can do half-day. I just don't know that I want her to not be just down the street from home. Anyways, Savannah has really enjoyed her week, but she comes home so tired. I wish that I could let her take a little nap, but she gets home so late in the day that she would stay up all night if she took a nap.

The girls had their yearly check-ups on Friday and I talked with our pediatrician a little about all-day vs. half-day, and it really made me start to wonder if I should have put her in the half-day class. After debating over the options all weekend, I think that we're just going to stick with the all-day and tough it out. I know that she loves getting to play on the playground, even though she informed me that she doesn't know how to make the swings go, and she enjoys getting to take her lunch to school. I guess that I'm just not quite ready to have her all grown up yet; I want to keep her at home as much as possible.

And for those of you that were wondering, I didn't cry when I took Savannah to school the first day. I was so happy and excited for her and just so proud of her too. But I did cry when I picked her up on her first day and I asked her how her day was and she said, "I thought Kindergarten was going to be fun, but it wasn't! It was boring!" It just made me sad to think that she had been gone all day and she didn't think that she had any fun. I know that she has had a good time though, because she keeps going on and on about the different things that she's done. She's really enjoyed PE and Music and she's even made a little friend. So I'm hoping that this second week is a little more fun for her and that I become a little happier about being back to school.

First Day of School

It's official, my little girl is all grown up and going to school. Savannah started Kindergarten on Monday and it was really strange to have her gone all day. But she was very excited to go and I think that she had a good time. She came home tired and hot, but after a snack she couldn't stop talking about all the things that she did. Melanie and I have missed her and it's really strange to have her going to school everyday, but I guess that we're starting a new chapter in life that's not going to end any time soon.
