Last week we went and met the teacher and got to see her classroom. Today she had a trial day - only going to school for 1.5 hours. During trial day, they get to practice getting in/out of the car, seeing the playground, visiting the library, going to the cafeteria, getting to know some of her classmates and getting her first homework assignment! Today was also the only day that you are allowed to walk your kids to the classroom. Of course Abs did NOT need me to walk her to her classroom - I could just drop her off at the car line. (wow - okay then, break my heart!) It was so crazy watching her get out of the car and go into school and then me pick her up afterwards. I kinda feel like a 'real' parent now.
Starting Wednesday she will begin her full-day school schedule. We will take both kiddos to daycare and then Abs will ride the daycare bus to/from school. Such the big girl, but this really freaks me out. Brian & I have had a kazillion talks about her not going home with anybody other than her daycare bus. Can she go home with mom - no ... dad - no ... school teacher - no ... daycare teacher - no ... mame & pape - no ... policeman - no ... auntie man - no ... friends parent - no ... daycare car (not bus) - no ... nana - no ... santa - no ... basically, she can ONLY go home on the daycare bus. Can you tell this I am a little freaked out about her going home with the wrong person?!?
The other cool thing about starting school, is lunch with Mame'! My mom takes the grandkids to a very special lunch to start the school year. This was the first year that Abs got to go - she felt very special!
