Best Part of the Day-
Scarlet's first day of Kindergarten!!! So exciting. They set it up so it was only a half day and the parents were invited to come and do the "first day" things as well: meet the kids, meet the teacher, find the cubbies, the bathrooms, take a tour, meet the Principal, etc. Will-O and I both live for the school (the one thing we can agree on!) I didn't even cry!
Funny note to Lovett/Gast cousins---I've been trying to break S. of her love of pink, so I bought her a blue backpack. Last minute she said she didn't want it (seriously only b/c it is blue!), so I told her "no". She got to pick out a fancy dance lunch box (flaming pink) and she was going to have to use a one of the backpacks in her closet (3 of them). She chose the PeptoBismol pink backpack that Ray had given to Sean as some kind of Christmas gag--circa '97. Anyhoo, we have it and S. s now using it for her pack! She decorated it with stickers/decals to doctor it up to her liking. It lives on like Ray may not have guessed it would...Recycle, Reuse, Renew?
Worst Part of the Day-
Will-O promised to take S. on his new motorcycle after her first day of school. The RN in me was/is leary, but I knew Will-O would take care of the basics. She of course had her helmet, jeans and long sleeves and he was going to take her only to the parking lot 1 block away. I knew they would be safe, but I wondered if she would like it or be scared. When they returned 10 minutes later Scarlet had this star-struck look in her eyes and kept saying "I love it, I love it! I wanna go faster. I wanna be a biker chick." Ohmylordie. It scares me a titch on a few levels.
I'm sensing a wild teen in my future.
