Back In School

Once we moved into a better school for Kaiya, we decided it was time to put her back into public school. It was fun with her at home but it put a lot of stress on me. My day was Kaiya, Kaiya and Kaiya. The online curriculum was wonderful but the time that I had to spend with her was making it so the other kids and the housework was getting ignored. When I found out I was pregnant it was one more reason to put her back in school.
Kaiya was excited to go but as soon as we got to school she started getting nervous. We had to wait in the office for about 20 minutes before school started and the teacher came and got us. The teacher seemed super nice and bubbly. There class is out in a portable so she walked us out. There was a girl in the class that Kaiya has known since she was about 3 because she is in my parents ward at church. The girl (Hallie) told the teacher she knew Kaiya so the teacher let Kaiya have a desk right next to her (which was set up and ready for Kaiya). That made Kaiya's nerves better to see Hallie and have a familiar face.
I did'nt want to leave her, I wanted to stay there all day but I took a picture of her and walked away. I was so happy that she was at a school I knew she would love.
The school is where my siblings and I all went K-6 grade. There is even a few of my teachers that still work there. I know where most things are in the school and feel comfortable. Since we live right next to the school field Kaiya can walk to and from school. It's very convenient for me, especially since nap time always seems to be around the time school gets out!
Kaiya had a good few days then started to get sad about not being at home. She would wake up and cry and complain all morning about not wanting to go. But she always came home with a smile and a fun story. I knew it wouldn't last long but that first couple of weeks were rough. She now LOVES the school and would choose it over online or her old school.
