First day of kindergarten

Natalynn was overcome with excitement this morning to start school. She was singing in the shower (audio recording available upon request) "I'm going to kindergarten woo hoo!"

She really wanted to take the bus, so I followed along. They let the parents come in for introductions and backpack show and tell. http://www.vimeo.com/28786076

She loved her first day and told us so many details. This is huge for Natalynn because she keeps things to herself.

She made 3 friends, but doesn't know their names yet. She shared her cheese stick and got a cheeto in return. her snacks took up all the playground time so tomorrow she wants only half of a peach. She played computer games involving mice and the "destruction" of a house.

Today was a great day and she can't believe that she gets to go back "every day except Saturday and Sunday!"

Meanwhile, Bridger and I got to have a mommy-son date. We watched sister get off the bus and the show and tell, then went to Wheeler Farm for bike rides, playground, and animal fun. As sister was driving away he said he "really loves Natalynn" and in the car he said nobody was in there. Apparently, I'm nobody.

Daddy made sure to be there to see her get on and off the bus, which brought his work time from 12 hours down to a piddley 8. Such a cute daddy.

Bridger was getting a bit annoyed with all the kindergarten talk, and REALLY wants to start preschool. We tried to talk up our fun outing. He is a blast to hang out with. We took his bike to Wheeler Farm. He got to call the shots and made plenty of opportunities to get little bits of his snack out of his new police car lunch box while at the farm. Love that boy.
