Back to School!

Today was the day. I actually had to set my alarm again. We woke up at 7 am, before the kids did. Dave jumped in the shower, and Brandon came in shortly after. Peyton got me up and out of bed when she came in. She’s a little slower to move, so I wanted to get her started.

Brandon was already changed, so Peyton went to change, too. Both got on to breakfast, and then we packed up their lunches.  We set out to school early, though it wasn’t as early as I’d wanted.  I wanted to take pictures of them, and we were mostly able to do that without other kids around.  By the time we were done, it was already 8 am.  The first bell rings at 8:12 am, but the yard duties are out by 8 am.  We went to drop Brandon’s bag off in line, and Bella walked up behind him.  Dave sized her up, and saw that she was half an inch taller than her.  He told Brandon, “Good luck, dude.”  I asked him good luck about what?  He was talking about Brandon catching up…I was thinking he was referring to something else!  Either way, the boy will need luck.  So, we hugged Brandon, and then took off to Peyton’s area, which was across the playground.  Poor kid, used to be an only child, and now is second fiddle to a kindergartener.  The kinder playground was more crowded, with students and their parents.  We chatted with Ms. Song, who told us about her summer.  She said hi to Peyton, but Peyton didn’t say much.  We went to talk to Julia and her mom, who we met in piano class.  Then, it was time for line up.  Peyton had to weave through parents to get to her bag by the door, and she was reluctant to move around them.  Dave had to escort her up to the line, but she resisted a bit.  Finally, as the line moved into the classroom, Peyton grabbed her stuff and followed in line.  This is the footage I caught.  Girl never looked back!  There were some tears from other kids, but I didn’t want to push my luck and sneak a peek in.  We just turned around and walked to the coffee with the principal hour.  We passed by Brandon’s class, and there were still parents lingering.  Dave snuck in and used his height to snap a shot of Brandon at his desk.  Dave’s comment, “Yeah, there are NO cool kids in his class.”  Nice, Daddy, nice!  Brandon did see him, but I don’t think he acknowledged him.  As a result of not lingering too longer, we were third in line to enter for coffee.  Dave stayed until the principal was done, then I met with my group to discuss our upcoming year.  I left the school and was trying to figure out where I’d parked, when I realized I came with Dave and was supposed to walk home 🙂  I walked home, and then got to work on my tasks.  Before I knew it, it was time to go back to school to get Peyton at 11:35 am.  I wanted to help her transition to CDC pick up, since I hadn’t really discussed it with her.  Tomorrow, I have another school meeting offsite, so she will need to walk with CDC teachers back there.  I waited and talked to one of her teammate’s (another teammate) mom, whose #2 son is also in kinder.  Like us, she had to leave #1 alone, and then concentrate on #2.  The doors opened up, and the kids were released.  I was telling CDC what my plans were, but I wanted them to go through the motions so Peyton would know.  Peyton was one of the last to be released, as CDC let the parents take their kids first.  I got to know who from Peyton’s class was going to CDC to help her know who she should stick with.  Then, Peyton walked out of the room.  Mrs. M waved goodbye to her, and told her she’d see her again tomorrow.  I asked her how school went and if she cried. She told me, “NO!  I didn’t cry!” sounding if that was such a silly idea.  She said the teacher read “The Kissing Hand” and made a handprint.  She also said Mrs. M read “Ms Bindergarten went to Kindergarten”.  She ate ALL of her snack (we’d packed lunch + snack) and she ate the whole thing.  She said she ate snack next to Hope (of Faith, Grace and Hope).  She said she went up to her and said, “Hi,” and Hope asked, “Who are you?”  Peyton said, “My name is Peyton” and then they ate together.  So proud of her!  She told me she said hello to Ms Song on her own, when she waved at her again in the yard.  We came home to let her work on the puzzle, and she requested to practice piano before Brandon came home.  We’ll go back to school by 230 pm to get him.  Busy day!
