Interview with a kindergartener {Sept. 8}

First day of kindergarten today. I took the day off to walk Mira to the bus stop and take pictures. Her friend, Olivia, is at her same bus stop, and I know Olivia's mom, Lisa. I'm really glad about that. I talked to Lisa about our situation with the bus stop being so far from daycare and she agreed to look after Mira and Isaac as they walk to the bus stop every day. Makes me feel better, but I'm still trying to get that stop moved.
Mira was really excited to start kindergarten today! She picked out her new dress and asked me to braid her hair last night so it would be wavy today. She looks so grown up! We got to the bus stop and there are 4 kindergarteners at that stop, so she has plenty of company. I didn't have time to cry, since the bus rolled to a stop and before I knew it, Mira was on the bus and it was driving away!

Waiting at the bus stop:
I didn't get a good photo of Mira getting on the bus. Boo!
I picked up Mira at the school today. The first thing she did was run up to me, hug me, and yell, "I love school!" That is so great! I asked her a few questions about her day. Here is what she said:

What was your favorite part of school?
Playing with the horses.

Did did you get to do anything special at school?
I got to hold the America flag and eat a snack.

Did you learn anything new today?
My teacher told us about American flags. That was the end of school.

I'm so glad it went well! She's a little trouper, very eager to experience kindergarten. I think she'll love it!
