Evelyne's First Day of Kindergarten; it's all about Edgar

Evelyne's first day of school was great fun!  She loved getting ready for the day, putting on her new dress and shoes AND coat because it was a cold morning, getting her backpack all ready with her lunch packed inside, and getting to ride the school bus for the very first time.  Wow, brings back memories.  I rode the bus with her to school in the morning and walked her to the classroom.  Nathan and Gilbert met us there.  We got Evelyne all settled, backpack in cubby, lunch in upper cubby, and found her desk.  She sits with Edgar, Johnathan, and Bailey.  She got a big welcome hug from Miss Jenke who is exactly who you'd love to hug you on your first day; warm, inviting, loving. We had a few photos and kisses goodbye and she just sat in her desk patiently waiting to hear what to do next.  All the kids ended up doing that; I think it was the shock factor....we'll just sit here, can't get into trouble that way. 

After school I asked if she made any new friends and it was Edgar, Edgar, Edgar.  Her desk neighbor who I gather is a high spirited little boy with a lot of energy as she later mentioned "he gets in trouble a lot though, mommy, he talks too much."  He was fun I gather because they played at recesses together and she was impressed that he spoke both spanish and english.  I told her she will too before long. 

She got to ride the bus home and said an older girl named Hannah asked if she wanted to sit by her so she did.  Hannah read her stories on the bus, Clifford and one other I can't remember; what a sweet girl.  She was dropped off by Randy, the bus driver and was beaming.  I asked if she wanted to go back and she said YES!
