The" 2nd" First Day of Kindergarten

So, after much deliberation we actually made a switch and Elizabeth started her "new" school a few weeks ago. Yes, I haven't posted much because this has been one doozy of a month with all sorts of transitions and adjustments.

Elizabeth seems to like her new school (she also liked her old school) and is adjusting quite well. Much better, in fact, than her mama. One of the most salient differences is the time factor. Her original kindergarten class was from 10-1:15. Her new kindergarten hours are from 8-3. Say what? Yes, 8-3. That is what has been a major adjustment for all of us. Elizabeth seems to love it when she is there but I can tell you she is one tired girl when she gets home. By Friday she is ready for the weekend.

If you have been around me at all this last month you know that the deliberations and diffcultly regarding the decision about kindergarten has been intense. I could write much more about it but I will save that for another time.

The good news is that Elizabeth loves her new school and her classmates.
More later.

Elizabeth also made sure to take her "lambie" and "stuffy" toys to school the first day. In fact Lambie has been attending school with her everyday.

Here she is with Miss "Elizabeth" . Everyone calls her Miss Liz but Elizabeth has decided that she is Miss Elizabeth to her. Fine by me. If no one ever calls Elizabeth, Liz or heaven forbid, Lizzy-I will be happy. Glad Elizabeth feels the same way.

Elizabeth really loves her uniform. I, on the other hand, really miss her cute little outfits every day-but I think Elizabeth loves feeling like a "big girl" and I think she gets a kick out of the fact that all her buddies are wearing the same clothes. And yes, the uniform does make her look quite mature.
