Kindergarten: a pictures post.

by

(Yes, People, we are starting way back.  You’re lucky this post didnt begin with baby pictures.  You can thank me for those edits later.)

 

Muffin Morning. Meet the teacher morning. No words required for how I adored her choice of  outfit right down to the running skirt.

She chose my outfit too & seriously I have no idea how she found that dress I’d forgotten I owned (thought I will admit her first choice was a racy red running skirt. I had to say no to that one). Somehow Ren Man was allowed to pick his own attire.

There were a few moments of Muffin Morning panic (suffice it to say shes NOT a fan of the school’s mascot) but all in all she loved her teacher…and the muffins.

After Muffin Morning.  The Tornado & one of her fave people (can you guess why? she’s a fun & fantastic as she is colorful, too)  She ran, leaped in her arms, & announced IM A KINDERGARTNER…almost!!!!


Kindergarten morning. I realize it’s shocking she’s awake and excited and it’s pitch black outside.

Inexplicably she grabbed my Zensah compression sleeves, slithered them up her arms & announced she was wearing them to school.

Here she is giving her idea a big thumbs up.

Thankfully she was willing to remove the sleeves for breakfast so she’d not make her sartorial choice sticky.*

By this point in the morning it was *still* dark out and Mama need more of the above to maintain the momentum.

The Tornado, to my delight, insisted she needed some of this to keep her momentum going.

Thankfully time passed & it was *finally* light outside for the mandatory photo op.

And the bus stop wait (and wait and wait).

Until at long last it arrived, she RAN up the stairs & was off on her first solo adventure.

I know I promised a post in pictures so Ill let the snapshot from day TWO speak for how she loved day one.

Oh and also, even with the little astrix below, she was tenacious with her Zensah leg-sleeves-as-arm-sleeves love.

 

*As you can see in the photo above she failed to replace her arm warmers after the pancakes.  I cant lie. I was a little disappointed.  I think Ren Man was highly relieved.

  2. So sweet.

    I’m enjoying your kinderstories.

    More stories so I know what to expect next fall (!!!).

  3. So darn cute. I hope it was a happy day for her.You are FAR better than me at documenting those important moments…gotta steal a page from you!

  6. I’m so thrilled for both of you Mizzy.

    Does she tell you stories at the end of the day?

  7. Her excitement is jumping out of the pictures. I’m so happy for her and I adore her love of pink! Congratulations!

  8. Absolutely adorable pictures! I hope she had a great first week!

    My eldest daughter started Kindergarten this week as well. She loves it.

  16. Way cool, Carla! She clearly has your snazz-attire instincts and how fun to have such a cool, colorful, fun/funny mom!!! I was born serious (think Hermoine Granger ;-)) and so my kids haven’t had nearly as much of this. Now when I try to be funny, they say it just doesn’t work coming from me. OK, but it SURE works for YOU! You’re so colorfully funny.

    You have to get your books going!

  18. Oh dear…. so BEAUTIFUL! And as I scroll and gaze at the joy, I’m kinda thinking our Miz is a little weepy on the other side of the computer, eh? I am in fact a little weepy on this end for you. xoxoxo

  25. I love everything about this from her Zensah arm bands to the pancakes to the mommy adoration! So precious! And I’m so glad you got it all on film!

  26. First, I thought she would start a fashion trend with the “arm warmers”! ;-D. Carla, I can’t tell you how much I love all the pics & the post & just how happy she is. So many stories from others on how their kids were scared & cried & afraid, which I understand, BUT you & RenMan are such amazing role models that all was good! I love from the first pic to the plate the breakfast is on to the the fave person to all the good feeling it brings to look at this post. MADE ME SMILE BIG!!!!

  32. I want to cry!! She is adorable!!!! Enjoy your time with her, time goes by so fast. My baby will be 28 in a couple of days. Geez!!

  33. I still can’t believe she is in Kindergarten!! I think she was 2 when I started reading your blog. How has this happened?!?

    P.S LOVE your coffee mug. I must have one of those – would make so happy to start my day off with skulls and bones. Is that weird?

  34. I am sort of disappointed that I only just discovered your website a week ago. But, I’ve added you to my Google Reader, right next to my own feeds, as well as in between a couple Arbitron feeds. Keep feeding my brain. Thanks a lot
