Boo's First Day of Kindergarten



The first day of school went well for Boo. JJ and I were sad. JJ cried her first and second day of school. I just cried on the first. It was sad being home today. I would go to tell her something, and she wasn't there. We both missed her.

She hasn't been able to tell me much about school. Typical conversations are going, "How was school?"

"Fine."

"What did you do?"

"I don't know."

"Did you do your ABC's?"

"No."

"Did the teacher tell you a story?"

"Yes."

"What was it?"

"I don't remember. I want a lunchbox."

On the second day, she said, "Mawummmm" a lot in that eye-rolling kind of way. I think JJ and I have become soooo preschool to her. I can tell she thinks she has hit the big time. I'm sure her older sister will knock that out of her.

Mostly, we miss her all day, and have to keep busy. JJ worked hard on his ABC's today. He keeps telling me he wants to go to school, and that he is old enough. When I picked her up today, it was at the end of a student gathering in the cafeteria. JJ and Boo hugged in front of everybody for a long time. I think she missed him too.
