First Day Of School

My oldest had her first day of kindergarten this morning. Man, that was a fast five years. We had originally hoped to Homeschool, and had even gone so far as to pull her out of preschool for the past year as a trial. But between watching her interact with us, and watching her in swimming class, with camp counselors and so on, there's just a different dynamic going on. At least for her, having teachers that are not her parents turned out to be a good thing. So here we are. Then again, is it a cop out? Maybe, but she was sure excited to start class this morning. And practically bubbled over when she got home, telling us about "circle time" and having to raise her hand. And that some of the boys didn't follow the rules. It was cute.
