I can hardly believe that the tiny 5 pound baby I held at just 24 hours old is ready for her first day of KINDERGARTEN!!! My how time has flown by! We read a lot of books about kindergarten prior to the big day and they always ended with me crying later. I explained it to Maryn this way, "I'm not sad you are going to kindergarten, I sad that you will be having new exciting adventures and I will not be there to experience them with you like I have been in preschool. I'm so excited for the new friends you are going to make, the new facts you will learn, and the ways God will use you to bring glory to his kingdom."
Let's just say there were lots of tears on that first day and while this momma tried to keep it together, they overflowed and made departure a little harder. Thank goodness Jeremy kept it together! All that to say we love Maryn's school and teacher. Being part of the IPS lottery is challenging. You get to preference your schools, but there is no guarantee you get the one you want. We were thrilled to get our top choice, The IPS/Butler Lab School. After touring and observing in the classroom, we knew this was the environment Maryn would thrive in and so has been the case. We absolutely love her teacher and love that Butler has a very strong presence in the school. This is going to be a great year...I just know it!!
