I was going to post this in the randoms, but then I realized it's Thursday!
I feel like I'm not going to be at all weepy when E goes to K next year. She's a September bday so lots of kids born in the same year that she was are going to Kinder for the first time this week. According to FB, their parents are LOSING IT with feelings. I really feel like I'll be like "see ya".

I am getting really sick of facebook friends posting pictures of themselves doing yoga in various exotic places. You're not as cool as you think you are.

Here is a picture of my heart
This was so me, I was super excited for L to start K, but not sad, per say. I knew she was ready, not worried about her being there all day (since she goes to full day day care, and she went to the elementary school prior for speech services so I knew she was familiar with the building), excited to save the daycare money.
But that moment she gives you a hug and a kiss and walks into the building like a big girl, crushed me. I thought I would have been totally fine and not cry at all. The teacher outside asked if I needed a hug, lol.
I started worrying about all the things I cannot control, her making friends, her knowing what to do, going to the bathroom, getting lost.

I feel like doing the gradual entry is harder on the parents! Do they do gradual entry where you guys live? I'm going to have to take a whole week off work to accomidate it.

I don't have friends doing it (except one male pole dancer friend I have. Who wasn't a pole dancer when we were closer lol), but the people visiting here doing it bug me. There was one guy at the beach here who was doing hand stand yoga stuff while recording it with a phone camera propped up on an empty hot tub. My kids wanna run around, dammit! Go be zen somewhere else.

No, this was rip the band-aid off and start school, all day. We chose to drop her off on the first day for pictures but she took the bus this morning and take the bus home.
I really was shocked by my emotions because I am not with her during the week anyways.

I can see myself being a lil emotional that day. But people I know have been freaking out FOR WEEKS. I get it. I mean, that's cool to have those kinds of feelings! I guess I live more in the present/future than I do in the past. OK, that sounds like I think it's a bad thing. Maybe I'm just not very sentimental?
The first day of K here is some kind of evaluation that's 1 on 1 and you go with your kid. Then they practice using their lunch cards and punching in their PINS. That doesn't sound like a cry fest to me! But people are passin' the tissues. Awww, LOL

I totally understand that. I did not freak out weeks beforehand, I was like yes!! So glad she is out of daycare!!! I am super happy she is in K and will be challenged and learn new things and meet new people.
L will probably have hot lunch most days. It only costs $2.65 per meal and it includes milk. Saves me the frustration of packing her lunch, worrying about what she will eat, lunch shaming. She will have much more variety eating school lunch every day.

I cry literally daily because of Violet starting preschool (full time and taking a bus so it feels like a bigger deal), but it's mostly bc we are ending her EI services. Her three therapists have done so much and been like family to us, I'm very emotional at the thought of change. And her beloved speech therapist has gotten a new job so we can't see her anymore even if we wanted. Sniff sniff.
I also think a lot of my stoneheartedness when it comes to this is because Edie is the oldest in her "grade". So she seems more "advanced" and super ready only because she's older. There are kids just 20 days older than E starting K today. I couldn't imagine E having to remember her PIN for a hot lunch right now and not having anyone to turn to if she forgot. That'd make me weepy.

I cry daily about Sydney starting preschool also TrudyCampbell. We visited her classroom yesterday, and seeing her inside made me cry. I'm going to be a mess on Tuesday!
I am officially over Taylor Swift. Why does. She have to trot out celebrities in every city she has a concert in? To keep her name in the news. Yawwwwn
I feel like I'll cry a bit, but A is already talking daily about kindergarten. "When I'm 5 I can do big kid math in kindergarten" "I can't wait to read big books in kindergarten "
I feel like by the time it comes she's going to be SO ready, that I'll be excited for her.
I don't think I will be a wreck, but I will shed some tears at the fact that she is growing up and becoming more mature and independent, etc.
Hell, I got teary last Saturday at her first dance class. Parents can't go in the room w/them. The teacher told them to walk in and put their dance bags on a shelf and line up. I thought for sure she was going to just kindof stand there. Nope, she marched right in and put her bag up then got in line. It just seemed so independent and grown up for three that I welled up with tears. My baby...
If the montessori charter gets approved next year then I'll probably homeschool kinder for J (they would open Fall 2017) and then send all three when it opens since they'll have a 3s preschool program. The thought of dropping all 3 off makes me giddy! I'm on a list to be a "founding family" to trade volunteer hours for garaunteed spots.
I am so ready for preschool to start!! I am sick of trying to come up with ways to entertain her at home. M is totally a "bye mom" type of kid, did not shed 1 tear last year at preschool drop offs so we're not really very emotional over here I guess.

I have a friend who does this non stop with lots of annoying hashtags! Like in front of random statues and in parking garages and on beaches (hers aren't really exotic). Is it that bohdi movement or something?

I get it Truds. Louie starts full time next thursday. No more daycare at all. They love him so much, and we have to do whats best for him, but i have a pit in my stomach about it.

A friend of mine posted a pic of her doing a head stand on a kayak lol. I did think it was kind of cool, but I'm totally tired of seeing this stuff lately.
She looooves school. Loves it. And she has a great teacher.
I'm so glad she likes it and her teacher too!
More cone questions. Did you make her the Schultüte? Or did you buy it? Do they get to open it at school and play with the toys and eat the candy there? Or is it just tradition to take it to school and then it comes right back home.
