I Wanna Be Like You

Woo woo woo… Just doin’ like we do.

Hair Cuttin’ Time

And one of my girls is way more excited about it than the other.

The Big K-5

Today is Claire’s first day of Kindergarten! I can’t believe it. She seems to though, on account of how much she’s been hyping it up and dreading it at the same time for about ten weeks now.

Last week, the local library had a bus driver come out to their kids time event and talk to the kids about what buses are like. The driver also took them out to the bus and let them climb into it and explore a bit. It was pretty effective propaganda. Claire insisted on taking the bus to and from school today.

I had planned to take a half day today in order to take her in myself. Danielle couldn’t because it’s also her first day of school. And I thought, neat! Father daughter time. Good memory making. And I told her I planned to take it off and she told me she really wanted to ride the bus. So, ok. It isn’t all about me.

I did walk her to the stop. And she was really excited to go. Personally, after twenty years of schooling I’m a bit meh on the school experience. I I know. It isn’t about me. So, I talked it up. Told her I was proud of her. That her My Little Pony dress was really cool. That she was really smart. And that I thought she was going to have an exciting day. She said, “Ok. Can I go run in the grass?” That’s my kid.
