Kindergarten

Karen started Kindergarten today. She was very excited to start school and a little nervous. I wasn't too worried since she's had preschool for a year. They asked a parent to come with the child for the first hour of school so daddy stayed home this morning to watch Michael so I could be with Karen at school. We all went together to see Karen off and take pictures, then Daddy and Michael walked home while mommy stayed at school. Here's some fun picture in front of the school.

They have a cute playground just for the kindergartners separated from the rest of the school by a half wall all the way around. It's really a cute little playground. Michael loved it too and wanted to get in on the picture taking.
They line up along the wall of the playground when the bell rings and the teachers come out to get them to take them into class. (I blurred faces for safety)
Mommy was able to help Karen with a few "get to know you" activities in the classroom. She was excited to be able to sit by two girls that she knows from primary. There is also a little boy from primary that she knows too. There are 24 in her class and she's excited to make new friends too. I know she will love school. As I was driving home suddenly I felt a little sad. I didn't expect that, but I guess it is a big deal after all. I no longer have a baby girl, she's growing up so fast.

(P.S. I'm so excited to have a camera again!)
