First Day of School

Summer holidays are over and it’s back to school for my kids. My son is heading off to third grade and my daughter to Kindergarten. They are both excited and I am relieved knowing that my daughter feels less anxious having her brother by her side. It is the beginning of a new adventure for my daughter.

And for raining days …

I helped my daughter find her seat, exchanged a few words with her teacher and reassured my child I would return in a couple of hours to pick her up. To ease the separation anxiety between the kids and their parents, the teacher had activities ready for the kids and other fun stuff.

I put the following in her backpack:

Hand Sanitizer Kleenex Pocket Pack Tissues Cold and Cough Drops A Bottle of Water “We Love You” Message

Notepad and Pencil Healthy and Nutritious Snacks Our Address & Phone Number Sunglasses (100% UV)

She had a good day.
Just like her brother, I know she will do well.

Today is the official First Day of School for some schools here in the High Desert and my first born is heading off to Kindergarten. While my mind was racing and I was worrying about everything; my son on the other hand, was so relaxed and excited to start his first day of kindergarten. We all got ready this morning, drove him to school and spent the first 30 minutes in the classroom getting the feel on how things are done. My son was assigned to a wonderful teacher.

My Son, die-hard fan of lightning McQueen, requested a McQueen Backpack for school. I got him the best backpack out there and he loved it so much, especially as he could store a few things he could easily access in the wheels. He was so excited to take it to school this morning. I put the following in his backpack:

Hand Sanitizer Kleenex Pocket Pack Tissues Cold and Cough Drops A Bottle of Water “We Love You” Message

Notepad and Pencil Healthy and Nutritious Snacks Our Address & Phone Number Sunglasses (100% UV)

I thought him well and I know he will do well. I am looking forward to picking him up and hearing all about his first day of school, his first day in kindergarten. I miss him so much already.
