First Grade- First Day- Caramel

Caramel has started 1st grade; another year at Tiffany Park Elementary. School is all day long! Early 8:30am to 3:10pm, that means lunch at school everyday. She had a good first week, only complained about going a little in the morning. If Caramel's hair magically didn't have tangles everywhere, life would be a dream or at least mornings. I tried to add a bow in her hair but it was strongly rejected.

Details about school included- not enough time to eat lunch because the 3rd graders were coming. I can picture Caramel not eating because she wants to talk, arriving home she eats the rest of her lunch and wants a sandwich. Her class does have the shortest eating time. Another detail- a friend had to sit in the Time Out chair because he was standing on his chair. Then she added with an even bigger grin she had to as well. Finally she corrected her story and said she didn't go to Time Out at all.

Caramel has also told me that she is the leader of her table group, she has a triangle on her name tag that symbolize her power and authority. When I asked if they take turns, she said no, only her. Interesting....can't wait to ask the teacher.  When I asked specifically about her teacher, Ms. Leek, Caramel told me she just sits in her chair with her feet up relaxing. It hard to trust any story that comes out of Caramel's mouth.

We have walked to school this year probably more than last year already. Myles is still adjusting to picking up Caramel at school.- trying to figure out the best napping schedule for him. Rhett has enjoyed playing with friends, hasn't felt too lonely with Caramel gone.
