I can not believe my baby is starting Kindergarten in 2 days. This morning felt like a big blur. We got up early and took JC to daycare, then we went and waited in line in front of the school to be one of the first in to find out his teacher and get a feel for the school. I absolutely love AE already and he hasn't even started yet. Mimi came up and met us with Princess B.
When they opened the doors it was a bit of chaos. We went down the hallway that had this beautiful woodsy mural on either side. Then we went to sign up for PTA (because I honestly can say that I have been waiting a long time to be part of the PTA). His teacher's name is Mrs. S and there is a para pro named Mrs. C. They seem very nice and LT was taking in all the sights and sounds. He seems so much older having just gone to orientation. I took him out to the playground for a few minutes and then we left. She gave us this bag of confetti with the coolest poem I have ever read:
Ready Confetti
The night before school is exciting and fun.
There are always so many things to be done.
Your clothes are ready, your backpack is too.
Your classroom is full of smart things you will do.
There are so many questions that go through your mind,
all types of thoughts of every kind.
But sometimes we all get the jitters down deep,
and that makes it hard to fall fast asleep.
So I've made you some magic confetti, it's really quite cool.
It will help you be rested and ready for school.
Just sprinkle the confetti under your pillow in bed
on the night before school starts where you lay down your head.
The confetti will help you sleep through the night,
and you will wake up in the morning fresh & bright.
I'll sprinkle confetti under my pillow too,
and remember: I can't wait for school so I can see you!
