on thursday, we went to Skye's kindergarten open house. we got to see her new classroom, meet her new teacher, find her locker, and meet some of the kids who will be her new friends. it was very exciting! we will have alot to learn in the first few weeks. my head is sort of swimming with all the new rules and routines i'll have to remember. and i'll have to make an effort to stay involved by volunteering in the classroom. but i'm most happy that Skye seems very very comfortable in her new classroom and her teacher seems to have a temperament that will be compatible with Skye's temperament.
and Claire also seems very comfortable with Skye's new school! i could easily have left her there to play - she was wandering around as if she knew exactly where to go! but her favourite part of the open house? the bright yellow school bus that was parked outside for the kids to climb up and get used to for their first day of school. Claire refused to get off the bus - i almost carried her off screaming!
i'm not nervous about the first day of kindergarten - i think Skye and Claire will adjust just fine to all the new changes, but i do feel overwhelmed with just how fast our girls are growing up! and this is also the end of summer...this summer, as last summer, was full and fun and oh so busy. the pool closes this weekend and we're sad about that, but we sure put in A LOT of swimming this summer.
