I went to a parent's orientation yesterday, met her teacher (who I love and who is not all ancient and weird and kitchey), met some other parents (who didn't seem very scary at all) and took a look around the school (which is super warm and welcoming and nice and small).
Then this morning I dropped Matilda off at Kindergarten. Her first day. She's so big. I know every parent probably feels this surge of pride when they get their oldest child ready on his or her first day of school, real school, kindergarten. In an hour I will go and pick her up (they have a half-day for the first month) and she is all I can think about. My big kindergarten girl.

Well how cute is she? Sigh, they grow up so fast!
A very grown up young lady.
My daughter is not yet three, and I sway between wishing she was at school already so I can have five minutes peace, to hoping that day will never come :(
She's just lovely. I am with Annie, somedays I can't wait for my kid to be old enough for school, other days, I can't fathom not being with him every second of every day.
Bittersweet.
Glad you'd liked the teacher!
Nell, she's beautiful!
Oh, I like the sound of your kind of kindergartens around there. A month long half days? What a great way to get them in the swing of big school. And seriously, they allowed teddies? They cut that kind of stuff out with K4 down here. Alabamer edjumaction really does suck.
Can I move in with you?
What a cutie! I used to with mine would get older and now I want to shrink him back down and rock him to sleep at night!
And she'll be getting a good old Mass liberal education. Good for her (as I long -again- for New England).
Aw, so cute... love the bear idea! Try to get her photo every year on the first day of school; luckily we've lived in the same house for years and daughter's first day of school pictures have been taken in the exact same spot for 12 years now (from K to Grade 11 this year). Only 1 year left to get that special photo! It's amazing to see the years flash by so quickly.
