Kaydree's First Day of School.

What an exciting time. I can't believe Kaydree is starting Second Grade. She woke up 2 hours early and was ready to go. She was a little nervous about her teacher.
We had heard from multiple sources that Kaydree got a very strict teacher. I really didn't mind, I am all about an environment where learning can take place and where there is structure and high expectations. What I didn't want was for her to have a teacher that would curb her love for learning.
She had a Father's Blessing the night before and we said our family prayer in the morning. Karsyn asked for a blessing on Kaydree that she would have a good day and like her teacher. In fact Karsyn told her, "Kaydree, you just have to have a positive attitude." As she approached the bus, the excitement wore off and fear set in. With tears in her eyes, Kaydree got on the bus. I worried about her all day and had a constant prayer in my heart. When she got off the bus she came bouncing across the street with a big smile and said, " Mom, whatever you do, don't switch my class! I love my class, my teacher is funny, she knows when the kids are being naughty (one kid kept burping and she knew right away who it was), she gave some of us stickers for being good, I love school, lunch was awesome, I had sooooooo much fun!"
Ahhhhhh to think about all the un-needed worries. I just love this time of the year and all the excitement. I do miss being able to set up my own classroom for the beginning of the year, but I enjoy living these moments as a parent and being on the other side of the First Day of School.
