Lucy goes to Kindergarten!

I can't believe my little Luce the goose is in Kindergarten! Where did the time go? She seems to really like it so far. She gets on the bus happy and gets off of the bus happy so I assume she has a fun time while she is away. I have a hard time getting any information from her about her day, it seems like she will tell us about her day on her own terms. It is so cute to hear her talk about the different games and things they play and do. Her teacher has been sending out emails here and there telling us about what they are doing.. they have A (music day), B (computer lab), C (Art), D (gym), and E (library), so it switches off each day.

This is Lucy after she got all of her shots.. she was so brave! She cried a little after it was all said and done but then Dr. Messick brought suckers in and she was fine. At her 5 year old appointment (8/15) she was 42.5 lbs and 43 inches tall. He said her weight is perfect and that she is a little tall for her age. I can't get over her cute dimples!

Norah taking her turn getting pictures in front of the school. Dave will be done with residency when Norah starts kindergarten so she will never go to Windermere. I wonder where she will go? Will it be in Utah, Nevada, Arizona, California, Texas, or Washington maybe? We still haven't decided where we want to live, we still have plenty of time to decide.

Lucy getting on the bus for the first time. She was so excited! The bus picks her up at the back driveway around 11:40 and drops her off at the corner a little after 3. She walks right on and for some reason walks straight to the back, sits down, and then waves to Norah and I. Super cute! Norah was so sad the first couple of days to see Lucy leave but now that she knows that when she wakes up from her nap that Lucy will be home to play.

Norah at the school with me while waiting to pick Lucy up from her orientation day (lasted about 1 1/2 hrs) Miss Leneger observed where Lucy was in her learning. She says Lucy is right on track and will do great. I love Norah's big eyes! Still confused on how her shirt got soaked. Ah, you never know with Norah.

Back to school night for new kindergarteners, they had Rita's ice cream and were able to meet teachers and new classmates and see the room where she will be spending the next year.

Miss Leneger is her teacher and she is really cute and very nice. Thank goodness for her! I could never teach school..

The first assignment they gave to the kids (well, to the parents) was to pick out a plant and bring it to plant in the classroom. I took Lucy to Lowe's and this is the plant she picked out.

Lucy and Norah getting some energy out and modeling for me :)

Go Windermere Hawks!

I thought this pic was so cute.. her hair is so cute and curly!

The first day of school was on August 26, 2011 and so far so good! I am really going to enjoy this year. No early mornings for us! I am loving my quiet afternoons and am thankful Norah still naps. I feel like I get a little break to get some things done around the house.. which is good because once Lucy is home I'm back to entertaining her and sometimes wishing school was a little longer :)
