Here we are in the gymnasium of her school, waiting to find out who she had as a teacher. This is where the Principal got up and said something to the effect of "well, since the days are so long and most of these kindergartners are used to naps, they will be EXHAUSTED when they come home since they will not get naps." He was saying this to the parents so we would understand the transition for our kids, but Ava, being the ease dropper she is, picked up on that and that was the thing she told everyone for a whole week. She told both sets of grandparents, "I am just gonna be esausted you know." Finally, daddy and I explained to her that she isn't used to taking naps and never has taken naps, so she won't be anymore exhausted than she usually is. :) It was so funny to hear her say it though. However, the day is longer than her daddy's current work hours, so he was pretty worried about her. ;)
They took the classes onto the school bus so they could sit on the bus while the rules of conduct for a bus were explained. Micah was the one she wanted to go on the bus with her and so I waited outside, camera ready, and with a very anxious Little Man. :) Micah said she knew the answers but wouldn't raise her hand to tell them. I asked her why later and she said she knew them, and repeated them back to me, but she said she was a "a little shy with too many people there." Hmm, She is not shy or quiet at home.
Here she is in her class room and showing off her desk and cubby hole. She was so proud to see her name there. She looked so grown up sitting at her desk and she was actually really calm and quiet. I am sure this will wear off but it was sweet. :) I like the crazy Ava too though. She did have one question for me about her desk. I asked her what she thought and she said, "mommy, why is my desk backwards and I can't see my teacher?" They did have a few of the desks in few groupings and hers was one that was facing the back wall, she had to turn around to see the teacher, and this bothered her. :)
The open house was really nice because it gave us a chance as parents to meet the teacher, principal and to see the school so we could picture where she was and what she was doing. I of course started asking her what she thought right away, but Micah reminded me that she needed time to process and then she would talk. She was quiet for awhile, and then she stared with the questions and thoughts. So glad we got the opportunity and so glad our little girl is growing up and LOVING it.
