Back To School

Kaitlyn went back to school yesterday. She was quite nervous and was clinging to my arm. I was not pleased with how the system worked yesterday. I hope it's not always like that. When we got there, it was very unorganized. People were all over and no one knew where to go. We finally got directed to the right place. Then I seen this one little boy, I felt sooo bad for him. He's in grade 1, I believe and he was walking around a little bit and he looked like he was going to cry, he looked like he was lost so I told the lady that was directing people that he looked a little lost as she didn't see him and then he soon stopped crying and she took him to his class. His class had gone into the school already. So then we went to pick her up. One would think that you would pick them up in the same place we dropped them off, as no one told us anything, so that is what we did and there were other parents waiting there as well. The bell rang and no one came out. Hmmm... maybe running a bit late? So we went inside the school and no one was in her classroom. Hmmmm..... what's going on? Where is our daughter? So then this one lady seen us, and said that general pickup was by the front doors. So ok, we went to the front doors and no Kaitlyn. I'm starting to panic, but my wonderful husband is sooo calm in these types of situations. Of course he was worried and wanted to find her. So we went out to the bus area and a teacher directed us to Kaitlyn's teacher and found out that Kaitlyn is on a bus. WHAT!!!! Thankfully the buses hadn't left yet. We got Kaitlyn off the bus. What happend was that when we move October 1, that's when Kaitlyn will start taking the bus. The teacher had it written down that she was to take the bus. So we informed her that it was a mistake, that Kaitlyn is NOT to get on the bus until October. At least I know that the bus system seems to work fairly well. The teachers take the kids out to the buses and make sure that they get on the right bus. That was a load off my mind. Although I am unsure of how it works for getting to school. I think I'll have to call to find out. I am also planning to watch the buses when I drop her off in the morning and just see how it works. Yesterday was quite the day. She was excited to go back today so that was a good sign. She seems to like her teacher and she has made a friend. A friend who is a boy. She said that she kissed him AHHH!!! She's only 5, there should be a few more years before that starts. We did have to tell her that she is NOT to be kissing boys. Anyway, I should get going, I have been up since 5:30am as I could not fall back to sleep this morning and I am tired. I still have to get Kaitlyn's lunch put together and I want time to be able to read before heading off to bed. I hope everyone has a great week and I'll try to post more often. But I can't gurantee as it is getting closer to moving day.
