1st day of Kindergarten!

Well today was the day, Chloe started kindergarten!! She was SO excited this morning that she was dressed before she even came out of her room. After she was all ready and ate, she kept asking "is it time to go yet?" When we got to school we were standing outside of the door waiting for her teacher to come the kids kept trying to open the door and look inside they were all pretty excited. Her teacher, Mrs. Milner finally came and she was So sweet! She asked all the names right there in the hallway, which I think was an evil plan made with her and the principal (just kidding) because the principal started talking about an important meeting tonight and the next thing I knew all the kids were gone inside the class. I was kinda sad, I wanted to say goodbye atleast and get a few pictures of her in the class, oh well, atleast I got some before school.



Once I got home I anxiously watched the time waiting for her to get home to hear all about her first day. at 2:35 I was out with a few other mom's waiting for the bus to arrive. 3 buses passed and they finally showed up. Chloe was so cute, she was sitting right next to the window in good view with a HUGE smile on her face!! (I wish I would have gotten a picture of that but I waved back instead) She jumped right off the bus and ran up to me with a big hug! She loved it!! I asked her if she knew any kids in the class besides the neighbors and she said "no, and there's not even any mean boys like there were in preschool!" well that's good!! ;) She loved her teacher! I'm SO happy she loves school! Hopefully she'll keep up with this attitude.

After months of trying I FINALLY got Chloe into the last session of swimming lessons!!! YAY! I was nervous she wasn't going to get into anything this year! Today was her last day and boy was she sad! She LOVED it this year, she liked it last year to but was alot more confidant this year. She has this thing about getting her face wet, she HATES it!!! On the first day of lessons, she was asking for a rainbow colored sno cone, I made her a deal....If she put her face in the water everyday and jumped off the diving board by herself on the last day then I would buy her a rainbow colored sno-cone. Well after 2 weeks of getting her face wet, jumping in from the side of the pool, and then the diving board we still haven't gotten her a sno-cone, we were in line, but it was SO slow and Brayden was hungry and tired so we promised her after his nap we'd take her to the one here in Rexburg.
I was SO SO SO proud of her, she passed the class this year and she was to the point of dunking her head in the water and coming up with a smile on her face! she had a GREAT teacher! Here are the videos of last year and the huge difference of this year! **funny story...After the diving board last year she told me she couldn't jump in because she was a mermaid and couldn't stand on her fins that's why they had to drop her in. hee hee her imagination makes me laugh.

I felt so bad that she was up there screaming and yelling "I want my mommy" I was laughing and probably the only mom crying watching her up there.



This year, she walked right out there...I noticed her teacher wasn't in the middle yet waiting for her, I had to tell her to wait or she probably would have jumped off without her. =)
