First Day of Kindergarten

We made through day 1 of kindergarten. Whew! Sydney had a fantastic day. I know because we had long and involved mother/daughter chat about her day:

Mom: How was kindergarten?
Sydney: Fine.
Mom: What did you do?
Sydney: Lots of stuff.
Mom: What was the best part?
Sydney: Recess

I asked her about the rules. They are as follows:
1. No punching.
2. No pushing.
3. No biting.
4. No pushing people off the slide.

I guess this quiet, suburban school nestled in a master planned community is rougher than it looks. I asked if there were any criers. Just a kid named Ryan and he cried A LOT. Poor Ryan. He must ran into one of those punchers, pushers, or biters on the playground.

And no, I didn't cry like a big baby. I did have to wear my sunglasses inside for a few minutes to hide the small amount of tears that were welling up. But I wasn't the only one.

These girls all started kindergarten today. We were all outside taking pictures this morning. They live next door and across the street. I had to remember if we were starting kindergarten or middle school. Sydney's main concerns about kindergarten so far have been who's in what class. Especially Drew... Sydney has talked non-stop about a boy in her old class named Drew. Apparently he is the "most handsome man in the world". Not sure who this Drew is but he sounds dreamy.
