We left the house right on time, that's how you know it's a special day! Emmy packed her backpack with her art smock, white crocheted blanket, and lunch box containing a tuna fish sandwich with the "skins" (crust) removed, grapes, BBQ potato chips and Cinderella fruit snacks. I was prepared with the "Food Allergy Action Plan" from the allergist, her Epi pen and Benadryl. I was worrying about what necessary items had been forgotten when Emmy spotted a PERFECT flower she had to pick to give to her new teacher, Miss Sarah, on her first day of Kindergarten.
Courageous Emmy showed no apprehension when she hopped out of the mini-van and walked down the sidewalk to her new school all by herself. It appears we were too slow for such an exciting moment! She said her favorite thing about Kindergarten is playing with so many new friends. And she is pretty excited about recess.
Gabby was disappointed when she realized she didn't get to stay at Kindergarten with Emmy. She tried to be brave. Normally, everyone knows it when she cries. This time she started to quietly sniffle with a few tears rolling down her cheeks.
We are so excited that Emmy gets to attend Daybreak Academy! She gets to attend a full-day of Kindergarten in a small class. They have specialists who teach visual arts, martial arts, Mandarin Chinese, gymnastics, science, music and public speaking/theatre arts. I am really pleased that she will get a private 30 minute piano lesson every week. What a wonderful opportunity for her to learn many new and exciting things!
