Calista's First Day

Calista started kindergarten today!  When she grows up she wants to be a dentist. 

She was so excited this morning. I thought she might be more scared but she was really just excited.  She loves her backpack and that she can make a lunch and even that she has a bus pass and gets to ride the big bus. 

I hope it is going well for her.  I'm sure she will do great.  It has got to be easier than going to a school where everyone speaks a different language than you and she has been doing that for about six months.

She knows a couple of the letter sounds and numbers, but not nearly as much as some of my kids did.  Tucker and Penelope full out knew how to read.  That is ok though, I'm definitely a different mom now than I was then and Calista wasn't interested in learning the letters.  I'm sure she will pick it up just fine though.  We will work on it a little more at home now that she is in school.

All the kids are officially off at school.   Now I need to get ready for work ;)

A friend who works at the school just sent me a picture of her outside.  They must be doing some sort of recess.  She looks happy.
