A Little Glimpse

Parker after school today

Today I was so excited for Parker.  She had the opportunity to spend the day in a Kindergarten class at one of the school's we're considering for her starting this Fall.  I can't believe she's old enough to be going to Kindergarten...She's my first baby! 

I was all excited for her, and then it hit me...Very weird especially since it was just for one day...Brecken started it..during breakfast she said that she was going to "miss Pwarker".  I told her that was ok, and that as soon as she got home from school they could play together!  Then we got home from dropping her off, and I decided I missed her too!  THEN I realized this is what our fall is going to be like!  Parker will be in school everyday, and it will just be Brecken and I.  I'm excited for the one on one time with Brecken since we've never had that.   I know we will both miss Parker very much though!

We couldn't wait for her to get home, and hear all about her day!  She enjoyed it very much.  She loved her "buddy" Kiley, and couldn't stop talking about her.  She was a bit sad when I explained that Kiley wouldn't be in her class if she went to this school, as Kiley would then be in the first grade!  She was glad they had snack time in the morning, but wished they had it in the afternoon too.  She realized that she needs to eat quicker at lunch, or else she won't have lunch or anything else to eat until school is out!  (She was very hungry and couldn't wait to get into the car and finish her lunch..the only thing she managed to eat was 1/2 of her sandwich)  I imagine that she was too busy talking and watching everyone else.  She loved playing in the gym and they had basketballs and goals and she loved throwing the balls in the air.."it was so much fun"!  She loved seeing a few familiar faces, and appreciated an older sister of a classmate at Jacob's saying "hi" to her and playing with her a bit during recess! 

This morning she started out a bit quiet I'm told, but by the end of the day she was coming out of her shell and had a great day!  She's looking forward to Kindergarten and LOVED the opportunity to see first hand what it is all about!

Such a fun day for her!
