Beginnings

Since my last post (from May!!) was titled "Endings" I thought it would be appropriate to title this one "Beginnings". So much has happened this summer and it is only mid-July. I will do catch up posts for each event, but this one is the most recent event, which is Ashley starting kindergarten! Her first day was Monday, bright and early at 7:30. She is going to Pinehurst Elementary in the year round program. I have actually been looking forward to her starting, she had an extra year of pre K, so she is more than ready. She was really excited and no one shed a tear! She did not go Tuesday or Wednesday because the school does a staggered entry, so her second day was today. Ryan took her and she looked like she was going to cry when they left the house, but Ryan said she did just fine when he dropped her off.

There are 24 students in her class with a teacher and a teacher's assistant. I think that is way too many for kindergarten, it was pretty overwhelming on back to school night. That is my main concern, but hopefully Ashley will do great and really enjoy school.
