Delaney first few days of school!


Well, Delaney started school on Wednesday. So far she has really loved going to school! After day one her only negative report was that one little girl cut in line waiting to go to the restroom. Her response was, "Momma, she just doesn't understand the rules"! How cute was that? Her other negative report, which upset me and made me almost cry, was that she feel off of the slide and another little girl laughed at her and it hurt Delaney's feelings. I think she maybe feel when she came off the end of the slide, not falling from above--she wasn't hurt. She was pretty upset about the girl laughing at her, and I was as well!
But, when I see her and ask how school was, her response has been "GREAT"! She has had so much fun. She has been singing songs that they've done in class and she's brought home papers she has done everyday. I've already got my desk area at work decorated with her artwork. She excited about having her day to bring snacks, but don't know when our day is yet. We got the snack calendar for the rest of August and we're not on it. She's been coming up with the items she wants to bring.
Apparently Delaney asked when they would get to have show-and-tell, and she's excited that it will be next week.
Noah and I took her to her classroom on the first day of school. She just left us and walked over to the kitchen area to play. We had to go over to her to say bye and get our hugs and kisses. It wasn't a problem for her at all. After school, she rode the bus over to the middle school to me. The second day of school my Mom (Nana--Christine) took her to school, and she rode the bus over to me again. On the third day she rode the bus from the middle school in the morning and back to the middle school in the afternoon. This is what she will be doing for the rest of the school year. We had to find another older student that was on the bus that would walk her to her classroom in the mornings when they get off of the bus. She's doing good with the bus except the fact that it's so hot right now. She isn't used to having to be on a hot bus.
She hasn't been a big fan of playing outside in the heat either. I really don't let the kiddos go outside to play at home when it's hot during the day, so she's having some problems with it.
I'M JUST SO PROUD OF HOW GOOD SHE IS DOING!

What an exciting time for Delaney! No worries on your anxiety over the rude kiddos, I have been right there with you! She seems to be handling it well, though! I can't believe she is in school already -is this Pre-K or Kindergarten???
