You were sleeping so peacefully, but I started trying to wake you up around 8:30a. I rubbed your head for about 10 minutes trying to waked you up, then I whispered in your ear “I have a surprise for you…and after the surprise, we will stop for a donut.” You immediately sat straight up and flew out of bed to get dressed, brush teeth & we were in the car in 15 minutes!
On the way to there you were asking me what the surprise is. About half way there, I told you since we couldn’t get into school before, we were going to be able to go inside today to look around and meet some of the teachers. You said “that’s not really a surprise. A toy is a surprise!” I laughed…you are always on point!
We arrived at Bay Haven for your kindergarten assessment. It was so sweet. We were so warmly welcomed by everyone we saw. The teacher who helped you saw on your form that you went to Discovery Days. She said was Ms Jenny’s best friend! Every single person there looked genuinely excited to see the kids. You eagerly followed Ms. Nasby to the table and sat and strutted your stuff showing her your mastery of your alphabet letters & sounds, numbers and sight words. You looked comfortable immediately, which made me feel 80000000 times better. The school is really cute inside. I was anxious that we couldn’t go inside before. When you finished, you walked over to me with Ms. Nasby. She told me you did an amazing job and of course you were great at the types of things they were asking and the one on one setting was the best play to your strong suit. She said “ I can really see her personality. She’s really cute! ” You drew a picture of me and showed Ms. Nasby telling her “these are mommy’s boobs!” I about died lol!
When we left, we were turning onto 41 to head to Publix to get a donut. There was a new place called Jacks Donuts that will be opening soon. You told me “ I want to ride my bike home everyday & stop at Jacks Donuts everyday! ” I told you I can’t wait to live so close to school and that you can always invite friends over after school when you want. I look forward to hosting fun times for you and your friends a million times. I hope that you always want to bring your friends home and enjoy growing up in this neighborhood. It means so much to me!
We grabbed our donut and headed to theater. You still didn’t want me to leave, but today’s drop off wasn’t nearly as dramatic as yesterday. When I picked you up we headed home to make dinner. When Daddy got home, you told him all about your day at school. After dinner, you guys rode bikes and then you lined up all the chairs in the living room. I ran an errand real quick and when I came home I was cracking up when I saw this!
We headed to your room at 8p to start reading books. You were wiggly and it took a little time, but you were asleep around around 9p. Going to bed earlier has definitely been good for you! Today was a big day, even though you didn’t know it going in. I know you will shine at Bay Haven and I’m proud and excited to have a front row seat to watch you rock!
I love you so much!
