Tonight we had the first parents meeting for kindergarten. Of course I was not going to cry, my son has been in day care for two and a half years. Of course I wasn't going to get emotional. Of course I was strong.

Of course I started to get totally teary eyed the moment I ment the teacher. She's just everything you want a kindergarten teacher to be, she's friendly, outgoing, warm, obviously patient, caring.

And she likes structure. My son is a structure child. He thrives when structured. His favorite question is "and then what is going to happen?" My little planner.

Kindergarten is monday to friday from 8:30 - 11:50... that's not even three hours! But it seems that there is so much packed into each morning. I have to get a snack together every. single. day. for M.

I may have gotten myself roped into heading up the fundraising committee of the Parent Advisory Council.
