Oh and she's not really "big" by any means. She was only shoulder height to all the other kids in her class. So small, in fact, that we thought she may have wandered off for her class' line because we couldn't find her. She was in the middle of the line and all the other kids were much taller than her so we couldn't see her from the back of the line. Yup, she's tiny, like itty bitty for her age.
As they started to walk into the building to start their day, and I saw Lilly start to choke up. I didn't see her actually cry. When we got home this afternoon she told me she got upset but she was able to hold herself together and calm down. We're so proud of her for that because she occasionally has panic attacks. But she worked this one out on her own and avoided it.
She had a great day, but she was so tired. Poor thing woke up early, like 6am early. She was so excited that nap time in kindergarten is much shorter than pre-K. She saw some old friends for pre-K and made new friends too. I made her favorite for lunch which she was so thankful for- a salami, cheese, and mayonnaise sandwich. When we got home we had some popsicles for a snack to cool off and vegged for a little bit. She does get homework and her assignment this week is an "About Me" sheet that she started while I made dinner.
I think she is going to have a great year. Oh and Sadie and Ruby missed her today. They made sure to give her a hug and a kiss when we got home. All day Ruby kept saying, "Bear Bear cool."- She calls Lilly bear bear. She would come up to me every few minutes and tell Lilly was at school.
Now all I need to do is find some fun. learning activities to keep Sadie-Mae busy! Any suggestions?
