Our last child has now officially entered kindergarten! It feels so weird for all of them to be in the same school at the same time. Matthew Ray had a great first day of school. When I picked him up he said, "That was the best day of my life EVER!" Hmmm...how should I take that?:) His teacher said that he was so good and that he was such a great helper. He also has taken up getting his and his sisters lunches and water bottles ready each day...he is a "tasker" and loves to serve..his sisters love to be served! :)
Madison was sure to show him the ropes of the school since she is a veteran now. I have to record this cute dialogue between me and Madison the night before the first day of school. I don't want to forget it!
Stacey: Madison, now remember...you have to listen to your teacher. You have to listen to directions. Make sure you REALLY pay attention.
Madison: I know...but Mom..you see, I don't always understand all of the words. For instance, if my teacher says, "are you allergic to something?" and I don't know what the word "allergic" is...now mom, I KNOW the word allergic but this is just an example...then I don't know all she is saying cause I am stuck on that one word.
Stacey: So, then that's when you should raise your hand and ask, "Mrs. S I don't know what the word "allergic" means."
Madison: MOM! I told you! I know what the word allergic means!!!!
