So this year my oldest started 4yo kinder. (Start crying hysterically) It’s an exciting and sad occasion. Sad that my baby is growing up and excited to watch her grow, make new friends and experience new things. It’s one of those things where you think you’ve got this you buy all the cool stuff for your child’s lunch box with a bunch of containers, drink bottle, bag, hat and you get plenty of fruit and healthy snacks for their lunches, your totally prepared for this.
Well, it doesn’t always get to plan. My daughters kinder does a couple of short days to get them used to being there. The first day was only a couple of hours and our kinder is only like 5 mins from home. I packed her a full lunch and snack in a separate container as the info they sent home said to do.
Well, barely any got eaten. Partly because it was a short day partly because I packed too much food. The first couple of weeks I did surprisingly well was packing lunch at night getting up early getting all three kids ready in the mornings and cleaning up before we left.
4 weeks in and I feel way less organised. I’ve been late almost every day for the last couple of weeks. Late for drop off and pick up. Been sleeping in, rushing lunches in the mornings. It’s definitely a shock to the system. But on the positive side, her teachers are amazing and they are very understanding when I am late.
So far it has been great for Savannah too. She has made a few little friends, it is so cute watching them greet each other in the mornings. She wants to go every day. She’s even talking about going to school more and more. I am not ready for her to be growing up so quickly but it seems that’s all she wants to do is grow up. It sucks. I wish they could stay little forever.
