When we arrived at school she was not nervous at all. She immediately found her desk and sat in it ready to begin. Watching all the kids come in, and Abby interact with them made me a bit teary eyed. Not because I didn't want to leave her, but it all of a sudden hit me that my little girl is growing up way too fast. It seems she was only a baby a bit ago, and now we are starting kindergarten. (On a side note, I remember my mom taking me to college, and her crying when she had to leave me. I can remember thinking how silly she was. Its funny how we all turn into our mothers.)
Well, apparently Abby was not having the same "deep" thoughts about this day as I was having because she was all smiles, and had no problem blowing me a kiss and sending me on my way. From the small tidbits I can get out of her (obtaining specific details from a kindergartner is almost impossible) everything went great. When I picked her up she was still smiling and told me about how she is in the elephant group (I guess each table has an animal name???), that she met the security guard, and that recess was the best. No word on if they actually learned something, but oh well.
Oh, and later Abby's teacher congratulated me on Lucy's belly button "nub" falling off. The crusty nubbin fell off earlier that morning. Apparently Abby had told her all about it and even included it in one of her pictures of our family she drew in class. Yes, that means Lucy was drawn in our family portrait with the "nub" lying next to her. I wonder what other things Mrs. Alexander (her teacher) hears about from a class full of 5 year olds. Must be pretty interesting!

Ha! It just occured to me that we are planning on naming our baby Abigail and that is your daughters name. DUH! Cassie starts Monday for kindergarden so hopefully we will have simmilar results. Oh and both my girls are constantly asking if their hair is curly now (like when I take it out of a ponytail or braid) I guess you always want what you dont have. :)
Such a big girl...she is adorable!
haha, Miranda is the same way when it comes to telling me about her day. She even told me, "I don't want to talk about it right now!" But she LOVES it at school. And I am a little nervous about what strange things she will tell her teacher. hmmm hey, when can we come visit you guys? :)
She looks so grown up!
