Class of 2027

Eloise marked another major milestone, starting Kindergarten.  There were no tears; just lots of excitement (Eloise and mama going to big school; and daddy not having to pay her pre-school/day-care costs).

At pick-up she said she had a great day and told us what she could remember about it.  (We were warned that she probably wouldn’t remember very much)

Lunch (or lack of it)

She requested a ham and cheese toasted sandwich for lunch on her first day.  I explained to her that I could do the ham and cheese but not the toasted.  She had a giggle at herself for being silly.  The other hiccup with lunch was that she didn’t know she could eat everything that I packed for her.  At lunch she ate her sandwich, a cheese and crackers and that’s it!  Poor thing was starving when she got home.  We made up for it by taking her to Outback Steakhouse to celebrate “surviving” her first day of school.

Reunited

On day 2, off she went still very excited.  But then at 3:30pm we got a phone call.  At after-school care she was vomiting. L  We felt so sad for her that on her 2^nd day of school, she was so sick. It meant that what should have been day 3 of big school, she was home.  Luckily it passed in 24 hours and she is able to finish out her first week of school.

She is very much enjoying school, especially after-school care making "older" friends.  The funniest thing has been her missing her sleep, every night she asks me, “When do I get to sleep-in again?”  My little Sleeping Beauty.
