kindergarten orientation

Holy moses...I can't believe this is happening.  Seriously.  Crazy.  




Isabelle did a great magnificent job, after a few tough moments in the beginning we settled in at the play dough table to knead our anxiety away.  Both mama and Isabelle  REALLY needed to work through the process with our hands before we could actually do anything!  Isabelle went through all the activity tables and made mamas heart swell....while she didn't exactly talk to any of the teachers she answered all their questions in whisper to me just loud enough for the teachers to also hear.  When asked to draw a picture of her face she decided she wanted to draw a picture of a chicken instead...obviously... and we skipped the gym section because the guy was kind of a dud and isabelle isn't a circus monkey who hops on one foot on cue.  Nope that just isn't going to happen and that is okay with me!

One of my favorite moments was when one of the teachers gave Isabelle a sunflower seed and told her that this was a special school flower...."plant the seed and when the flower opens and looks like a big beautiful sun you will know it is almost time for school".  And yes...I totally had to fight back tears....oh mama.

I have more thoughts and feelings to share about today but I am trying to focus on all the awesomeness that happened...so lets just leave it at that!
