"EVERYTHING!"

was Sam's response when I asked her what her favorite part of her first day of Kindergarten was. Couldn't have prayed for a better response!

Yesterday was an amazingly nice day! I'm convinced it's because Matt was able to stay at home in the morning to take Sam to school w/ us! (thanks babe!) We were all up and showered (that's right, all four of us got showers in the morning!). The kids ate breakfast and then off we went! We arrived at school on time too!

Oh, and did I mention she has to be at school about 45 mins earlier than the public school kids and an hr earlier than preschool last year!? Yeah, I didn't think it would happen at all!

She entered the school with the typical caution of entering any new situation. Thankfully, a few adults who know her greeted her by name. That helped a lot!! It was relaxing for us too because Mr Kamp the assist. headmaster/music teacher (also Matt's elementary music teacher) was out to greet everyone so he told Matt to get to class! It was cute! Mr Kamp has been a great part of our transition here for Sammie. See, his wife was Sam's preschool teacher last year so that gave her a way to connect the two schools and know that she'll still get to see her beloved Mrs. Kamp from time to time! sniff, sniff

Here's a small glimpse into kindergarten! (Don't call it school or you'll be corrected by the student herself..."you mean kindergarten!")
