Just some random pictures

Here are a few random pictures that pertain to school:

What does the above picture have to do with school? She has on her school skirt duh.  The actual picture represents something completle off school topic. It is the first time that her and I used the restroom in stalls next to each other instead of in the same one. She has been going in the stall out in public for about 4 months now but I usually stand outside the door. This time there wasn't anyone else in the restroom, we both had to go, so boom.. there we go.. HUGE DEAL just to let you know

waiting in car line

I spy in car line

another picture that isn't school related other than her clothes. BUT.. this reminds me of my sister. She use to drive me crazy becuase she would watch TV while laying down and putting her feet in the air. It always blocked my view of the TV. Other times she would watch TV just like this. I am pretty sure she  still does this when she is alone

I spy in car line

Every day when she walks past me while I am waiting in car line. Getting there 45 minutes early is worth it when I get this smile. I am going to miss carline so much when I go to externs. 

Just chilling in school uniform

She refused to look at me for her day three of Yoga. I guess the sun was "too bright"

Car Line

This isn't our first car line experience. BUT, it is our first car line experience with the entire school. Last year, her school offered half days for preK, so when I picked her up in car line there were only a few other cars and it was just kids her age. Now it is different. Now I am line with all the other moms. Going to this private school means no bus rout. Not that I would want her on the bus but it just means every student is being picked up in car line.


Yes, I am that mom that gets to her school an hour before school is over. I am that mom that sits in care line jamming to music, reading a book, and doing school work. I am that mom that freaks out if it is 2:20 and I am not there yet.

I don't have to be first. Honestly, I am never first. I will sit in a parking space until another car gets first in line. I am second though, or third..fourth..fifth. As long as I am under 10, I am happy. Why?? Why are there moms like that? Well, for me.. I would rather sit in a still care, chill out for 45 minutes, catch a glimps of her walking to and from recess, be a first to pick her up, be home by 3:30 instead of sitting in stop and go car line for 30 minutes and get home at 4:00. It makes sense to me. I love it.

And this people, THIS is the joy of my day. Every day, THIS is what I see.


THIS is why I am THAT mom...

She knows I am first. She knows to look for me. It makes her giggle. It fills my heart with happiness. She loves it too.. I think

For some reason, blogger is still not letting me upload video. This is a bummer because I have the cutest video of her walking in line, giggling when she sees me, and then turning around and waving to me.

First Day

August 16th

FIRST DAY OF KINDERGARTEN

 side note: it is no surprise that I am not the best speller but come to find out (on my own) I have been spelling kindergarten wrong since... well, forever. Great.. GREAT. her first day of school picture and look what I did. Puzzeling thing: not a single person has told me that I spell it wrong. Come on people, you know I want to be told about my spelling mistakes. It is the only way I learn.

Her first day

When I grow up I want to be a vet, a teacher, and a mom.

I do walk her to the classroom. It is not required and actually it is not encouraged but heck, when else will I be able to walk my daughter to class? She is my only child, this is a once in a life time thing here. My first and last kindergartener. I'll take full advantage of it now because next year she will be in the main building and I wont be able to walk her. (1st grade.. ahhhh)

Carline! I got to see her walking back to class and she spotted me!

First Day was a huge success. I am so thankful for this school and these teachers (I am thankful for all teachers out there. The majority of yall are amazing and have such warm hearts)

What she has to say:

Her first day was great. She made some new friends but one of the friends was mean to another little girl so she wont be friends with him anymore. (I explained she should still be his friend but to ask him if he could just be nicer) She went to PE and played games, had lunch in a cafiteria, had rest time on her new mat, and ate snack, then of course the beloved recess. 

She did so much to day. I am not use to her having so much to say about her day. 

I have video of her when she got in the car but blogger is not letting me upload it at this moment. Will update later so be sure to check back!
