Well we are finally entering the public school system. Baylee was so thrilled about finally getting to go to kindergarten that she woke up at 6:30am (because Lacey told her that when you start school you have to get up super early) did her whole morning routine by herself and at 7:30 when she was almost done eating breakfast she says, "I am all ready mom let's go to school". Unfortunately she still had many hours before leaving at 11:00am. Lacey(cousin) had debriefed Baylee on the whole kindergarten school thing days before and so she was confident that she new exactly what to do and that you never want to go to the principal's office. Well, at 11:00 we headed to Highland Primary. I walked Baylee to her classroom and told her I was going to take her picture, but before I could she said "See ya mom, I got to go" and she was bolting down the hall to the playground. I don't think I have ever seen her run that fast. Apparently she has no separation anxiety. Poor Kami can hardly wait tell it is her turn. Kami is adjusting to being the playtime coordinator while Baylee is gone. Today she comes in while I am working on the computer and says "mom grown-ups can play with kids, you know! 'cause the scriptures said Jesus was like a child and played with kids." So what could I say to that? I left my work and we played school upstairs. We picked up Baylee after school and she gave explicit details of her day about 5 times over. I hope this enthusiasm for school lasts for the next 12 years.

First Day of Kindergarten
Well we are finally entering the public school system. Baylee was so thrilled about finally getting to go to kindergarten that she woke up at 6:30am (because Lacey told her that when you start school you have to get up super early) did her whole morning routine by herself and at 7:30 when she was almost done eating breakfast she says, "I am all ready mom let's go to school". Unfortunately she still had many hours before leaving at 11:00am. Lacey(cousin) had debriefed Baylee on the whole kindergarten school thing days before and so she was confident that she new exactly what to do and that you never want to go to the principal's office. Well, at 11:00 we headed to Highland Primary. I walked Baylee to her classroom and told her I was going to take her picture, but before I could she said "See ya mom, I got to go" and she was bolting down the hall to the playground.

Nat I loved your post. Baylee once again succored into Laceys attempt to help her. I laughed cause it's all true UNLESS your in afternoon kindergarten. Ya, sorry about that. Kambria is hilarious she shares such deep thoughts when she finally has a chance to get a word in. But thats how it goes in a house full of girls. Lots to keep up with. Your an awasome mom! After reading your post and seeing Baylees excitement on the 3rd day I couldn't help but wish we could all go back to kindergarten! Luv ya!
