Kindergarten Orientation Today - Big Day!  Jojo woke up ready to go, she was so excited to ride the bus.  She had hoped she could take the bus from our house to school and was disappointed to know she would ride it at school.  Ash was a bit nervous about the day and proclaimed he wasn't going to ride the bus!  He then tried to negotiate with me that I would drive him to and from everyday to school.    Ash picked out his beloved Zoo outfit today and that seemed to help him feel more at ease.  Jordan chose her favorite pink shirt and skirt.  She also convinced mommy to wear a pink skirt "so we will match."  Daddy picked us up and off we went!  Upon arriving they took pictures of the kids and gave them awesome goodie bags with scissors, crayons, sparkly pencils, and a countdown to school calendar. The kids were then lined up with the kindergarten teachers.  Ash was hesitant then they walked up to the line together, holding hands.   Mommy: sniff sniff.  Off to the classroom they went for story time.  After story time the kids went for a bus ride where they learned bus safety and rules.  While the kids went on their ventures, parents waited in the cafeteria as staff members introduced themselves and talked about services at the school.    Everyone is so friendly and approachable.  The kids came back beaming, Ash said nothing but gave a thumbs up for the bus ride!  As we left the school they gave each child their picture in a little photo frame.  Mommy and Daddy are doing well with this because our kids are ready and we are excited for them!
