The first day of school. Holy crow I canNOT believe it. I haven't woken up Charlotte yet b/c that would officially start the morning countdown to Kindergarten. She's sleeping like a rock. On the other hand, I slept like it was the first day of school - lousy.
I'm ok with dropping her off, having her be gone, and then picking her up. She did that in preschool last year. It's worrying about the in-between hours that I stress out. What if someone is mean to her? What if she's scared and nobody is sensitive to her feelings? What if she asks a lot of questions (an entirely probable situation), and the teacher tells her to put her hand down and just listen? That one bothers me b/c she truly wants to know things, and she's so sincere when she asks, and that would just hurt her bad.
Anyway, my mom is coming over at 7:30 to see us off and watch the kids for me. It'll be exciting, and we'll try to take pictures. I'm not a big picture-person, but I'll make the effort for her grandparents far away. I'll write more after the day is over. It'll be a long day b/c I'll pick Charlotte up at 3 and go immediately to Claire's dance class. Wish us luck!

Oh my goodness! Good luck to you and to Charlotte especially! She'll do great!!
I've been thinking of you and Charlotte all morning. She's a smart cookie and will love kindergarten!
I am sure she will do great! I think it is more traumatic for us than the kids!
