The First Day of Kindergarten
I used to be so little, but not anymore.
Tomorrow I'll get up and walk out the door.
I'm going to Kindergarten- it's the first time for me.
It's great to be big, but I'm scared as can be.
My tummy's in knots. You want to know why?
I'm thinking that maybe, just maybe I'll cry.
When Dad leaves the school and I'm there alone,
I'm thinking that maybe I'll want to go home.
But wait- Mommy said I'll play lots of games,
And meet lots of friends- I can learn all their names.
The first day of Kindergarten, oh there's so much to do!
There's painting and books and a big playground too!
I used to be little, but not anymore.
Tomorrow I'll get up and walk out the door.
I'm going to Kindergarten-it's my first day,
you see.
It's great to be big! I'm so glad that I'm me!
Today, Jordyn Nicole went to her first day of Kindergarten. I can't believe I have a child in Kindergarten... where does the time go?!?!?! Last night, in preparation, we read "The night before Kindergarten" and "The Kissing Hand." Jordyn was more than okay with the thought of going to school each day. If fact, she came up with the idea to do a "practice show and tell." Jordyn will be in for a big surprise when she finds out that "show and tell" does not allow for a twenty minute presentation. Mommy, however, struggled for the rest of the night after reading those dang books! If you're not familiar with "The Kissing Hand," I do not recommend doing that to yourself before your first baby heads off to school. This morning, Jordyn seemed a little nervous, but as I watched her from the window, she was all smiles! Jordyn is attending Bryant Ranch Elementary... just a few blocks up the street! Her teacher's name is Mrs. Warhurst.... I've heard wonderful things about the way she teaches. Once glance at the classroom shows that these little people have a big year ahead of them! I don't remember Kindergarten looking like this!
Jordyn's favorite part of her first day of Kindergarten.... "I went all the way across the monkey bars!" Sounds like the perfect day to me!

Oh my gosh that is so crazy Linds! Time sure flies. I can't believe how long Jordyn's hair is!
Ahhh... Boog. :( I can't believe she is a big Kindergartener.
And I agree with Jordyn, that is the "Perfect Day." :)
