First Day of School

I really can't even believe that I have a kid old enough to be in kindergarten, but Miya started yesterday and will be in full-day school. She was super excited about going yesterday, but once we got to the school she got pretty nervous. Phil and I stayed with her for a few minutes. When I turned to leave she wasn't happy, but I told her that I was too old for kindergarten and that they wouldn't want me to start school all over again. She laughed then hugged me and I left. She talked all the way to the school today and was sad that she wouldn't get to go to the airport to drop grandma and grandpa off, but that you have to go to school even when it isn't the funnest thing to do. She also said that it is important to go so you can learn stuff that other people know, like the type of bush we were walking by.
She was nervous again when we got to the school, but Mrs. Jones, her teacher came and talked to her. She said, "did you tell your mom that you were the best student yesterday in class and that you were the biggest helper at getting all the roses on the bush." Well Miya is pretty competitive and liked being call 'the best' and was ready to be brave and dive right in.
