I went to the school to pick Beastie up. I followed the instructions and waited in the designated area. And waited. And waited. I thought the kids were awfully big and I figured they probably brought the kindergarteners out after the bigger kids. You know, staggered release? Apparently not. Principal: Did you tell the office what kind of pick up youd do with her? Me: Yes. They told me shes classified as an assisted walker and that I was to wait here for them to bring her to the gate. Principal: Well, its the first day so perhaps they were confused and brought her to the car loop. Me: The what? Principal: Follow me. Me: Okay. So we walked all the way to the other side of the complex and I hear Gramma! yelled from behind me. It was Beastie and she was so happy to see me. Apparently I was in the right area but at the wrong gate. Derp! It was my first day too! Unlike her last school where they lost a 1st grader on her first day, this school is completely serious about keeping the children safe. Whew. What a relief. So aside from her being a little weepy and scared for the whole five minutes it took them to find me, she had a fabulous first day. Shes impressed with the cafeteria and their choices of flavored milk. Lol. Beastie: Gramma, I love my new teacher. Me: Im so happy to hear that. What do you like about her? Beastie: Shes really sweet to everyone and she told me it was okay if I asked her all my questions. Me: You asked her if it was okay to ask her questions? Beastie: Yes because my other teacher told me kids shouldnt ask so many questions. I dont understand that. How am I posta know something if I dont ask and I cant read yet? Me: Youre killing me, Kid. Beastie: The kids are really nice too. No one said I looked like Minnie Mouse either. Me: Youre much cuter than Minnie anyway. Im sorry some kids were mean to you. Not everyone is mean. Beastie: I know. Me: Okay. Hey, how come only half your name is on your paper? Beastie: Because I was so excited to do my work, I forgot to write the rest of it. Me: Hahaha! Im glad you like school so much. Beastie: Guess what time it is? Me: IDK? Beastie: Slushie time! Remember you said youd make me one after school? Me: So I did! Hopefully things will go well. Her teacher seems to possess an inordinate amount of patience and Beastie likes her. This bodes well for everyone!
