FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL...

INTRODUCING...

Punky Brewster (aka Cyndi Lauper aka Teagan!!!)

Chloe actually was EXCITED to go to school...

This is the girls meeting spot before they cross the street to my van.

Miss Reed lining up the kids before heading into the school--lots of moms were shedding tears this morning--but not me.

Today was the first day of school.  Chloe went in at normal time but the first two days of kindergarten are "transition days" so she doesn't go in until 9:45 and gets out at 1:45.  Of course, Chloe doesn't think that's fair--how she forgets she did the same thing in kindergarten.  Teagan bounced out of bed at 7:30, ate a little breakfast and got dressed.  She asked every 15 minutes if we could leave and get her to school.  Once Chloe left for school, she asked every 5-10 minutes.  She wanted to ride her bike so she wouldn't be late.  We finally left and walked to school.  We weren't the first ones there--just the third out of 120 or so.  But she was happy because she was at school and not late.  I asked her a couple of times if she wanted to stay home with me but she consistently said she wanted to go.  I was glad about that--I shouldn't even joke about it in front of Piper because she'll take me up on it and want to stay home.  She'll be the one in tears next year although she had no trouble with preschool last year and I'm not expecting much trouble this year either.  We'll see, her mood changes with the wind.  I picked up Teagan and Mikaela and they both said that they would go back tomorrow.  Even Chloe said she had a good day when she got home--Maybe this is Chloe's year to start liking school!!  That'd be nice!!!  Enough for now...  Enjoy Teagan's "style".  I wanted the teacher to see it right off the bat.  So far, Teagan has her talking shirt picked out for tomorrow!!  He He!!  -AS
