Day 1 of Kindergarten

September 8, 2015

Today my little Bean went to her first day of Kindergarten. She practically escorted us out of the room. Um..okay..so..bye? Was what I said and then she gave me a half assed side hug and said "Bye Mommy!" Ok..so..this is see ya later..Oh, okay.



It wasn't as dramatic for me as I think it is for other people. Doesn't mean that I don't care or Im not deeply affected, I think people just process and react to information differently. And that's okay. Instead of crying at the school I kind of wandered around the house all day, noticing how quiet it was, feeling a little sad when Reid would say "Bean! Look at this..Oh wait..I forgot." - yeah, that kind of stunk.

The good news is that she had a great time. We are all happy about that. So this is our new.
