Grandparents' Day

Last week my parents headed to kindergarten with Layla.  Ryan's parents would have loved to go also but it was during the day and they were working.  The night before the big day Layla could barely sleep.  She was SO excited that papa and grandma were going to be in her classroom!  My parents got to check out the classroom, listen to the kids sing a few songs and eat lunch with Layla in the lunchroom.  My parents said Layla fit right in with the class and kindergarten looked like it was a perfect fit for her right now.  I was happy with the report!

 

I am so relieved that everything seems to be going well.  Ryan and I (well, really mostly me!) went back and forth if sending her this year was the right decision.  If we chatted at all this summer, you know I was especially fretful as the school year approached.  But the first few weeks have gone well and Layla seems very happy.  She does not like getting up early for school (she still likes her twelve hours at night and it is tough to get those in) but she is very pleased with all other aspects of school.  I think the worrying may have been caused from me not being ready for kindergarten quite yet :)

And in the lunchroom!  Layla wanted to show my parents how she gets hot lunch from time to time.  She loves the sun butter (allergy friendly alternative to peanut butter that the lunchroom serves to all kiddos) and jelly sandwiches :)

And finally here is a little video of the kindergartners!  I know the video is a bit fuzzy, but Layla is in the center with the white bow in her hair.
