Today was the first day of kindergarten and it couldn’t have been more different than last year’s first day of kindergarten.
Last year was fraught with waffle drama and the omen of a lost skirt. This year she’s wearing another skirt but was not in the mood for breakfast at all and of course I was all “YOU MUST EAT” and put an extra snack in her Littlest Pet Shop lunch box.
This year Nathan was the one who stayed with her until the bell rang.
But mom wasn’t left out and got a shot in with the kindergartner as well.
I’m not feeling the love for those pants. They’re actually a couple of sizes larger than what I wear now and the last time I wore them I had four dollars in coins in one pocket, the weight of which nearly made the pants slide off my right hip.
But I’m liking that denim jacket which I purchased for $3.99 at Goodwill. Score!
Anyway, back to the kindergartner. I have no doubt she’s going to get into some mischief this year. Ideally I’d like to make it through the week before getting a call from the school, but after meeting her teacher I have all the confidence in the world my child is now with someone who will appreciate and nurture her individuality and help harness her dramatic tendencies.
I’m also pretty confident in saying that skirt is coming home tonight. This year’s first day of kindergarten is much colder than last year’s.

you look awesome heather!! fan-tab-ulously awesome!! and arent teachers paid to see, appreciate, and nurture the individuality in every child. i am counting on it when my little diva gets there
Kendra, one would hope all teachers would be nurturing, but the kindergarten teacher we started out with last year was not. I feel much better about this year’s teacher.
