Public school started today here in Edmond. Since Hailey has a fall birthday, she misses the cut off date to start Kindergarten. But that is okay. I get to enjoy her for another year and she is scared to go anyway. So I told her we would start "Pretend School" today and play school in her "Office". Her office happens to be in the laundry room.  She seemed to go for this idea. In the past, she has pretty much not been interested in anything I try to teach her when it comes to paper/pencil stuff. I pulled out my old lesson plans and we had our first class this morning in our pajamas! She loved it and has had fun all morning calling me "Teacher, Teacher, Teacher" over and over again. We will see how this goes!

Hailey did tell me that real school is big and has lots of people in it and kids could get lost. She went on to ask me how the kids find their teacher. Hopefully this year at home will prepare her for Kindergarten next year. Growing up is fun but sad in a way for me. I would love to be able to keep her little forever!

*On another note, while she was at "recess" I told her I was going to fold some laundry. Guess I should get up in the morning and get dressed because Brady's work partner showed up at the front door. People really should have clothes on by noon!
