The day finally came....August 31st! Fiona has been counting down to for the past 6months or so and we made it! Fiona's first Day of Kindergarten in Miss Erny's class room 20 at Westlake School.

We were worried that we wouldn't be there in time but all our practice these last weeks has paid off. With an alarm were at the table eating breakfast by 7AM, already dressed with hair brushed. That's a feat for our family.
Bag was packed with snack, and teeth were brushed, then OUT THE DOOR bu 7:50

We went on bikes, fiona's skills on her own bike aren't quite up to the challenge so I had her on the trail-a-bike. We're going to try to do a mix of walking and riding depending on the weather...Almost there...

It did feel different dropping her off in Kindergarten rather than at preschool. Certainly she's ready, it's just the thought of leaving her in the sea of all those kids that feels different than the familiar arms of her Preschool teacher Laura. But we left her there happily reading and at the beginning of her great adventure in school. She's ready and we're right with her. Fiona reading in the reading spot.
