LeLe has to be the most happy child that I have ever known. She can make almost ANYONE smile and she is such a caring giving child. When I asked her 4 year old teachers what we needed to work on over the summer...the only thing that they could come up with was that she gives EVERYTHING away. I am not quite sure where she gets that :)
I have been a nervous wreck over the past week. While our friends in neighboring Hoover schools have found out their teachers...here we sat...waiting on the mailman. Yesterday, the original day that we were told we would find out passed with no letter, I decided to call the school. They said that we would know today at 3:30 when they posted on the windows of the school. I decided not to take LeLe to the school to fight the crowd. Instead, she went to a friends house and then I took Gibson to the doctor. He has terrible skin and has been running a fever. He woke up several times during the night with nosebleeds.
I am not sure why I am feeling so overwhelmed with LeLe starting kindergarten. I am not sure if it is the fact that she now is going to be on a strict schedule or if it is the fact that we are now going to have to start getting up at the crack of dawn.
I still have many questions...what should I send on the first day of school? What should I do about lunch? What should I give the teacher? You know...all those things that normal people don't even think about...I am losing sleep over. I believe more than anything...it is just the fact that we are starting a new chapter...and in order to do so...it means that we will have to close the one that I am on...and this particular chapter...I would be fine with lasting for eternity.

A very difficult chapter to begin, but also one of the most rewarding. All of your fears, lose of sleep and worries - are all normal. We worry over our children because we love them and want the best for them. Change in routine is always so hard, but I bet anything that in six months you will look back and feel relief and joy knowing that it has all worked out. Finding a new normal will be here before you know it. Congratulations on making it to Kindergarten! :)
