Yesterday was Jenna's first day of Kindergarten! After a couple weeks of meeting the teacher, buying clothes, packing the backpack, and checking off school supplies, Jenna was ready to head in for her first day! She is going to half-day kindergarten (afternoon) at a year round school with a dress code. She loves to wear skirts and dresses and chose this one for her first day.
All was well until she had to line up to go inside, when she dissolved into tears. I was able to walk back to the classroom with her, where her teacher said there was playdoh (thank god for kindergarten teachers!). She hung up her backpack, wiped off her tears, and found a pink container of playdoh. I gave her a kiss and waved goodbye.
She had a great day and was looking forward to going back today. The report from today was good too and she made two friends - one in her classroom and a bus buddy. She was excited tonight to pick out clothes for tomorrow!

She did a lot better than Jill did. The 6th grade was the first year that I didn't have to pull Jill off my legs while she was screaming, "Don't leave me Mommy!"
It is hard to believe she is in college now!
I'm glad that she enjoyed it as it makes life alot easier.
Love and hugs Gina xxx
