We Made It!

Well, we survived the first week of Kindergarten. Here we are walking home after school on Friday. We were almost home and Shane wanted to walk so Kassidy decided to walk with him and held his hand. As you can see in the picture, she spotted the dirt pile so of course we had to play in it. The first week went better then I had expected since Kassidy has never been in a school environment. Her teachers said she did very well Tues - Fri, she seemed to adjust very quickly. Every day at home before school she has a meltdown saying she doesn't want to go, that she will never see me or brother or her house or her toys again. But once we start our walk to school then she gets really excited and does fine in class. (Our walk is approx half a mile one way so I walk 2 miles all together by the end of the day - guess I will be losing some weight and getting into shape!) Kassidy told me last night that she wants school to hurry up and be over so she can get a job...where that came from I do not know. She also said that her brain can't take going to school anymore, it is tired.
Shane is doing pretty good adapting to sissy being away for some time each day. He loves the walks (or should I say rides for him) and gets excited about playing with the other kids before sissy's school starts. When we get home he says he misses sissy and he asks me about every 15 minutes "Can we go pick up sissy now?" But I think he enjoys the mommy and Shane time too because then he has my full attention and he gets to watch whatever he wants on the big TV.
Well, I am sure the posts may slow down a bit since the bulk of my day is walking to and from school but I am also sure that there will be a lot of post about our new life in school. Our love to all!
