Major milestone alert over here: we have a Kindergarten-er, people!

We were pretty nervous about starting a new school today.  Fortunately Jack’s new teacher, Mrs. Torres, sent home some “jitter glitter” to go underneath his pillow and give him good dreams the night before his first day.  The morning went by without a hitch and things were looking like smooth sailing until it dawned on Jack halfway down the driveway that his sister (read: emotional support animal) wouldn’t be able to go with him.  So drop off contained some tears.  The good news is that his teachers have been very warm and supportive and meeting him where he’s at.  We love them already.  Lena was also a tiny bit tentative about her new daycare, but warmed up almost immediately.

Honey Bee has been our home away from home for the past 4+ years.  Jack started in the infant room when he was only twelve months old, and Lena’s been there since she was twelve weeks!  And so, it was with mixed emotions that we said goodbye to our beloved teachers and friends.  A new chapter for both of us starts tomorrow – Jack at Kindergarten and Lena at a brand new daycare closer to our new house.

Bye bye!
