First Day Of Kindergarten

Sue's first day of Kindergarten was yesterday. She is going to a morning pre-school program where we drop her off, then a bus takes to her Sliney school (the local elementary school) for Kindergarten, then she takes the bus home.

Sue's backpack is now full of her kindergarten stuff.



This is the building where the pre-school program is held, about ten minutes away from the elementary school building.



Sue settled right into the pre-school program with paper and markers. She discovered that a nice boy named Georges from CDC (her nursery school) is in both this pre-school program and in her Kindergarten class.



Both Brendan and I were a wreck all day, although Sue was fine with it all. I went to meet the bus, only to discover when the bus arrived (half an hour late!) that Sue was not on it! Yikes! Once the driver got on the radio, it was discovered that Sue was on bus #9. I ended up meeting her back at Sliney. Sue was taking it all in stride. Not so much Mommy. Round trip, house-bus stop-Sliney-home, 1 and 1/2 hours. And much agita.

Needless to say, Sue's bus number is plastered all over her backpack and Sue has been drilled with her bus number. Hopefully today will go more smoothly.
