Abbey starts Kindergarten

Abbey started kindergarten after labor day. She was very excited about starting a new school and making new friends. She realized that she was a big girl now and was going to the big school and no longer in preschool anymore. I went in to work late that morning so I could take her in to school. I never understood why some parents get emotional when their kids go off to kindergarten until I took Abbey to school. I have always been in Abbey's life and love her to death. She's kind of the kid we never had (yet). It has been a time of reflection leading up to this day. We love being part of her life and seeing her progress. She is as much part of our lives as we are of hers.

Abbey has to take ESL in the mornings and then she has afternoon kindergarten. I'm not sure why she has to take ESL, but the county seems to think she does. So, she has a long day of school every day. She gets to ride to school bus to the babysitter's house and gets picked up from there.


Abbey did not want to wear what her mom picked out for her for the first day so she had a little bit of a melt down. So, she picked out her own clothes.
