Kinder!!!! Its finally HERE!!!

Kinder here I come

 On the 27th of August Abigail embarked on her journey for the next 13 years plus of schooling. I cannot believe its here. Kindergarten!  Wasn't it just yesterday that this little 3lb baby was born? It felt like it this day, maybe not so much other days, but this day for sure! I was sad at first but then she started acting up and that wiped that away. She was so excited to go and asked so many, so many, so many questions.

Mom!

 The drop off was a little rough. Seth was out of town so I had to drag everyone inside with me. It was the madness of the first day of school and there were people everywhere. This does not bode well for Abby. Change is hard, crowds are hard, loud noises are hard. Needless to say once we headed inside it all went down hill. She didn't want to line up with her class before school without me there. She refused to follow her teacher to her classroom without clinging to my side and then yelled at me a few times. Again, her anxiety's mentioned above usually manifest as anger and violence...arn't I lucky? Not to mention, I had Emily in my arms and Brigham throwing a fit about the stroller to add to the experience.

She looks so old

 Once we finally made it to class, she was really upset.  She wasn't seated near her friend Ashley so she put her angry eyes on, and almost cried. I managed to get her into her seat, and distracted. All the while she was burning my skin with her death stare. Thankfully I made it out of there in once piece and she didnt yell at me as I left, which was a plus. However, once outside Brigham decided it was his turn to act up and so he screamed and flopped his way to the car while I wrangled Emily.

Cheese!

 Thankfully, she had a good first day. She liked her teacher and of course lunch time. She actually behaved really well after school which I was not anticipating. As the days pass she will be more comfortable in her new school and routine. I am excited for her to learn and grown and mature as she goes on this path. Its a long day, and its new, but we will make it through. Despite all that, I am proud of her. Honestly I was anticipating an even bigger battle so, I call it a win!
