And Just Like That...3 in school

Today we dropped off our 3rd born PKIT into Kindergarten. She was ready. So very ready to be in school. The two oldest went to their 1st and 2nd grade classrooms and were also ready.

The oldest PKIT did not want Mom or Dad to come into the room with her today, that was a bit rough on the VIT but I was exceedingly proud of her independence and strength. She reminds me so much of myself. She might be treading water under the surface like nobody's business but on the outside, she does what needs doing. And she does it with a sense of confidence that just is. I hope she never loses that. It will be a source of great strength for her. I can't wait to hear how awesome 2nd grade is!

The second oldest PKIT, she was good until it was time for us to leave. She is my sweet sensitive soul. But she did better than I expected. She got teary but used her strategies and was able to focus on the task of writing her name on her new name plate for her seat. She is who I wish I was most often. She is strong but she allows her feelings to come out and is unashamed of them. She deeply understands that sometimes we cry and be sad but we also still move forward. As we were walking in her good friend from Kinder was on his way in, I'm positive that as soon as she saw him, things were all good.

Our newest kinder kiddo, she was ready. Barely skipped a beat and gave a quick hug and was off. She is the perfect balance of the VIT and I. She is fearless but a little shy. I am sure that she will love kindergarten and will be exhausted at the end of today. I'm excited to hear how her first day of 'real school' has gone.

The wee littlest PKIT gets to spend a whole week with Daddy and she couldn't be happier. The VIT has mentioned several times that in the span of 3 years here we have gone from no one in school to 3/4 of kids in school. HALLELUJAH!!!! I am excited for them. They love to learn (like their mama who hasn't every really stopped going to school) and I'm happy they get to do it. On a different note it was interesting to realize that once PKIT 5.0 arrives and gets to kinder we will have a kinder and an 8th grader?!?!?! Send hope, food, and a bottles of wine.

Happy 1st Day of school y'all! Here we go!
