The day has finally arrived.
I Have A KINDERGARTNER!!!
1st things 1st- Haircuts
Just a trim now because she is growing it out like Rapunzel
The night before THE FIRST DAY OF KINDERGARTEN, I put the kids in bed and then had a couple clients coming over.
One was an autistic little girl who was managed to get 2 MASSIVE hair knots in her hair.
I mean bigger that your fist massive.
There was a lot of loud noises and the parents held on tight and I was able to cut out the knots.
I was in awe of these amazing gentle parents who showed no sign of frustration during this whole ordeal.
I about broke into tears. At first when i saw how bad the situation was and then when i was able to help this little girl.
And still made it work to wear i could leave most of the hair in the front to be pulled back in a pony tail and cover up all the damage.
I will forever be grateful for this experience.
However Katelyn came out of her room afterward completely traumatized.
There were a lot of scary noises being made (Remember this girl has autism and has a highly sensitive head and was not liking the idea of someone touching it)
Poor Katelyn sat in her room during all of this awake and scared what was going on.
Poor thing!
I explained the situation and she eventually calmed down and fell asleep in my bed
while I finished up my next client.
My little sleeping beauty
Morning came.
I was actually surprised Katelyn didn't wake up at the crack of dawn. Thank goodness.
She woke up at 6:45 and she RAN down the hall to the kitchen with the biggest smile on her face and said. "I get to go to Kindergarten today!"
She excitedly got ready
And we put on our Spiritual armor for the day. I enjoyed teaching the kids about this (I have slacked in the past, but now with this school schedule it should help me remember)
The morning sun was pretty bright for Katelyn pretty blue eyes, but we took a few photos and she closed here eyes in between shots :)
We loaded Bridget up in the jogger, Mack on his bike & Katelyn on her razor and headed out.
On the way I met up with a neighbor and we discussed me watching her girls after school.
What a blessing, I am helping her out and I am able to make a little extra income to help pay off student loans!!!! Yay!
Oh I started the envelope system and we are big time budgeting over here to get our students loans paid off asap.We are on the 4 yr plan.
Katelyn was so brave and walked right into class
She found her seat we said our good byes & i quickly walked away before I could cry.
Mack, Bridget & I walked home. eventually Bridget went down for her nap and Mack & I played.
We practiced our colors, watched a movie,
Play with cars
and wrestled.
We ate lunch and before we knew it, it was time to go get Katelyn from school
We loaded back up and were on our way.
I swear I think the most exciting thing when kids get home is opening up their lunch box to see what;s left inside from lunch. I remember doing that as a kid :)
Katelyn received 4 stars today for using her manners.
DAY 2
We all woke up a little tired on the 2nd day of school.
But still in good spirits.
Today was RED day and Mack and Bridget joined in on the fun.
Mack was soooo starving ;)
So he had to eat breakfast on the way.
Still just as brave as ever. That's my girl!
It was Bridget's turn to play with Mommy when we got home.
Lots of peek a boo and wrestling.
Such a cutie pie :)
After school Bridget was thrilled to see her sister.
We went over her projects form the day and Katelyn received 7 stars for using good manners.
