The First Day

I don't know how this time has already come, but I do have to announce that Adelaide is officially in Kindergarten, ahhhhhh!!!!  We have been talking about going to school for what seems like forever yet I am looking at my 28 pound baby wondering how she isn't going to get pushed over while wearing her giant backpack and wondering if she will eat any of her lunch or just talk the whole time.  The good thing is that cousin Brooke is also going to school with A so at least she will have a little bit of 6th grade protection.
There were so many activities before school ever started with registration, assessments, new family orientation, see the classroom day, Kindergarten day and the Publix back to school bash.  By the time school started I was glad to get back to a normal day at work without looking at my watch and thinking oh man I have to go or else I am going to miss some activity at school, thank goodness for a flexible schedule.

A is obsessed with Plato.

New family orientation with Brooke.

There she goes, could care less that she was leaving us behind.

Little sister was her escort and about threw a fit when she couldn't stay with Ada.

Waiting for the doors to open and it looks like Daddy was reflecting on the last five years.

Get off of me Mommy, I'm a big girl.

I swear other parents took pics with their babies too.

As an update Adelaide did a great job at school, but she does talk a lot and never eats her lunch at school.  She is going to OT, PT and Speech throughout the week and is showing great progress in her communication.  She does have her occasional fits at school which are completely embarrassing to her parents, but the teachers think that it has a lot to do with how young she is compared to the other students.  She is keeping up with and mastering most of the items that she is taught and after a lot of practice her favorite new school is rhyming.  Only a few months into it and she is already asking who her first grade teacher is going to be.
