First day of Kindergarten

Today is Aubrey's first day of Kindergarden! She was excited and not a bit scared this morning when I took her to school and dropped her off. We've been practicing getting up and getting to school for a month, so it should have been easy. No tears, no fears... Thank goodness. Only after we dropped off Aubrey did I realize the nature of Heidi's Aubrey withdrawals. I am back to the job of full time entertainer for the time being. No one really knew what to do with themselves at first without Aubrey, but already things are getting more normal.




PM Update: Aubrey had a great first day of school. She loves her teacher and she has learned all the rules... JJ got in trouble because he was naughty, but all the girls were good. She doesn't know the rest of the kids names. She got chocolate milk without money today at lunch. She ate about half the lunch mommy packed for her. Mrs. Courtney had a lot of kids to help out during lunch - she was so busy! Aubrey got three recesses! They played with playdough, sat on the rug for story time, colored a picture of themselves, learned all the rules and raised their hands to answer questions.

The rest of us missed her... But we are all doing fine!

Aubrey looks so much like you. I keep on seeing posts from you and Justin said click on Jill's name and you can see her blog. I should have thought of that a long time ago. It was fun seeing your family in California. Crazy that our little kids are growing up so fast. We miss you guys.
