ABC .... Easy as 1, 2, 3.... Yeah that is right... I am going to give you the mommy notes of Kindergarten 101!! :) Here are a few things from our 1st week... only went 1/2 days so this next week will really be the real deal!!! Noah ended the week with a trip to the deer lease with Daddy to fish.... nothing could have topped that! :)

Kindergarten 101

1.) Wake up kindergartner with gentleness...maybe pointing out the fact that "Look, it is still dark outside!" They will sit right up for you! :)

2.) Let kindergartner wake up slowly with some cartoons and juice on the couch while nonshalantly sp? place their sausage and biscuit or what have you beside them...they will eat it without even noticing it...

3.) Encourage them to get dressed by pointing out the fact that "wow... you get to wear your tennis shoes EVERY day in kindergarten!" They will be quite eagar for that! :)

4.) If having any problems getting results...use the "buying your lunch" as an encouragement to getting ready.... (They really want to buy their lunch some) :)

5.) Get to the car and walk in on day 1, 2 and the 3rd day they might stop you before you get to the classroom door and say, "ok, ok.... Go!" Mommy tears may form at this time.... :(

6.) When picking up kindergartner be prepared to hear ALL about RECESS and RECESS.... and that they played soccer and have teams and won and lost and some boy may hit your kindergartner on the 1st day of school b/c he wasn't playing right...:( More Mommy tears may form at this time.... :( REALLY!

7.) Kindergartner is very sweet and eagar to play with brother and sister when he gets home and melts your heart... when all you really want to do is be alone with HIM and talk all about everything and hug him and look at him ...but...no.....He is in kindergarten now.

8.) Be prepared for the before dinner, possibly during dinner...zombie state.... the kindergartner doesn't seem to hear nor do anything you tell them to.... :( They might even fall asleep on the couch and once again.... MOMMY TEARS may form once again!!!

9.) The kindergartner will not want to go to bed...they never do....but as the week progresses...the getting up will get more difficult and your Mommy muscles may have to lift the 52 lb. kindergartner out of his bed..... ouch!

10.) All in all.... a great kindergarten week! With a Family Night on Friday night...Get to stay up late with swimming and pizza by the pool, a movie with popcorn AND chocolate chip cookies.... just us.... bittersweet... as we watch the kindergartner's tired little eyes fall asleep while sitting up.... we carry him to his bed.....These times are super special now that we have a kindergartner...b/c they will be fewer and farther in between b/c.... He is in Kindergarten now. :)
