Molly's 1st Day of Kindergarten

First Day of Kindergarten for my Molly!! Her teacher is Ms. Mitchell and is very nice. Parents got to stay in the classroom during a coloring activity and 1st day photos then attended a parent orientation with the Principal. Then families rejoined their Kindergarteners for recess snack. After that Brian, Harriette & I went to pick up some balloons for a congratulations on the 1st day. Picked up Molly at noon. She made a friend named Grace. We joined Andreas (who was born 3 days before Molly) and his mom Leslie (I used to work with Leslie's hubby Nick) for lunch at the Katella Deli. I cannot believe we have never been there before - unbelievable sandwiches and bakery!

I didn't cry as much as I expected but that was only because I was trying to wrangle HarBar, listen to instructions and advice from the staff, and of course take lots of lots of photographs!  I was maybe more nervous than Molly was. She for sure was taking a survey of her environment but not at all worried to say good bye to us. Harriette wanted to know where Molly was and missed her sister. There were a few aggressive kids which made me a bit nervous and want to run and pick her up and carry her away from the world but I think she'll learn to handle her own battles just fine. That won't stop me from being prepared with any ammo she wants and requires!

Looking very forward to being a room mom, PTA participant, classroom volunteer and anything else I can do to be involved!

It was a very busy day! Molly is excited and happy and that's all that matters.
