Kindergarten!

Amelia started Kindergarten! She has been waiting for this for a long time and was SO excited to go. She had no fear on the first day. She attends Cameron Elementary which is about a seven minute walk from our house. I have been really impressed with the school so far and her teachers seem really great (Mrs. Murphy is her teacher and Miss Chancey and Miss Higgs are the assistants). They have to wear uniforms at her school, which has actually been really nice, and her class is very diverse which is really great.

It has been strange to have her gone all day (school goes from 9:10 to 3:50) but I have noticed that the house stays much cleaner. Elsa asks for Amelia throughout the day, but I think she is enjoying her freedom to play with whatever she wants, however she wants.









It's fun to walk home with her every afternoon and hear her report from the day. She usually tells me she had a "really great day" and so far the only things that she has complained about are the fire drills and not having time to eat her pudding at lunch. She has already made a few friends and says "kindergarten is SO much fun." Phew.

There is a courtyard in the middle of her school with farm animals. Elsa loves to stop by and watch the chickens, goats, and bunnies when we drop Amelia off.
