First Day!
My first born started full day kindergarten today. I thought I'd be more anxious but I was a little nervous but I kept my cool. Bunny was so excited. We went and visited her classroom and her teacher, yesterday. It was her first time riding a big yellow school bus and she wasn't scared of it. I didn't think there were that many kids attending public school. All the ones I knew that were the same age as Bunny were attending either private or Catholic school. So I was pleasantly surprised when we met another Kindergartner at the bus stop. He was this sweet talkative boy named Curtis. I'm so glad that Bunny is so social. They became fast friends. All the parents and children were very friendly and we were all chatting it up at the bus stop. It was really nice. I always thought our neighborhood was unfriendly because everyone keeps to themselves.
Bunny came home all happy and a bit tired. She talked non-stop about her day. She really enjoyed Kindergarten. I am so happy. I couldn't ask for more. Lamb was a bit distraught though. She really missed her playmate, Bunny. She ran up the stairs overjoyed screaming, " Bunny, Bunny's here!! YAY!" I was upstairs and was a bit puzzled because it was only 11:30 am. I told Lamb that Bunny wasn't home and won't be home until 3:50. And then she goes with a sad face," But I heard Bunny's voice." Poor kid... she's so sad, she's hearing voices.
Today, is also my birthday. I've been preoccupied with kids, and getting Bunny ready for school, I completely forgot about my birthday. The girls hugged me in the morning and wished me a happy birthday and then off I was to get Bunny ready for her first day of school.
All evening, Bunny kept mentioning she had a birthday surprise for me. "mommy, are you ready for your surprise... I have to give it to you when you are sleeping..." "it's a great surprise, mommy, you'll be so surprised... mommy, I am excited to give you your birthday surprise" Okay, okay, I said. But went about my business, not thinking much of it. I got the girls ready for bed, read them a story and prayed with them. I tucked them in and left. I was on my bed and nursing Frog when Bunny jumps into the room and screams ,"SURRRRPRRRRRRRIIIIIIISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOMMY! HAPPY BIIIIIIIIIIIIRTHDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!" She actually did startle me because I thought they were sleeping. Then I go, " oh, is this my birthday surprise?" She nods her head and goes, "Did you like your birthday surprise, mommy?" "yes, I did!" I thought how clever of her to think of this and to be patient enough to pull it off. She gave me a good laugh. hahahhaah
