Kindergarten

I've got the cutest pictures of both Claire and Em's first days of school, but darn it Dave hasn't taken them off the camera yet - I'll have to have him do it tonight.  Sending Claire was so difficult yesterday! I think of her still as my baby, and not a big 5 year-old! I think part of it is Emma was almost 6 when she started, and Claire's barely 5.  I sat in her class for about 10 minutes after walking her in.  The class is ginormous! When I registered her last April, they barely had enough for a morning class (besides the all day one).  Her teacher told me yesterday that 33 showed up just in the afternoon class! Where did all these kids come from? Evergreen Forest now has to hire a new kindergarten teacher.  This happened last year with Em's class too.  Hopefully Claire can stay with this teacher and in the afternoon class.  She recognized one little girl from her new primary class, so that's been a blessing -  other than this Ashley, Claire doesn't know anyone! But she seems happy and excited when I pick her up, so that makes me happy.  I guess sometimes I don't give my kids enough credit, or I'm just a schmuck! :) Poor Hallie doesn't know what to do with herself now that sisters are gone! Luckily this baby will (hopefully) come out next week so she'll have someone else besides mom to be at home with!
