So... it's been a while (as usual!) but I thought I would throw a few quickies up here of Kate at her new school. She is *loving* it and we are so thankful that she loves it and that she is where she is... it seems really perfect for her and is such a happy, sweet place. Scout and I have had a hard time swallowing the fact that she is in a "real" school now, and I am totally that shameless mother who is doing a 180 in the driver's seat to see a second glimpse of her as she walks into school by herself, with her big ol' bag, carefully stepping on each pink footprint that leads to her door. (On the days that she will walk in by herself... we are going back and forth on that one.)
The real cherry on top is that her friend Luke is in her class and he is as passionate about Diego as Kate is about Dora. So, they are making quite the team and their teacher tells me that she can only refer to them both as "Dora" and "Diego." Scout and I are both jumping for joy that finally Kate isn't forcing someone to play along with the constant-running Dora episode that is playing in her head. What a treat! (If I had a nickel for every time one of Kate's friends has looked at me and said, "But I don't *want* to be Boots!")
Ready to go on the first day!
...After her first day. Looks like it was a good one!
