My little girl, ready to go to Kindergarten! We couldn't get to the school fast enough for her. She was so excited! (her excitement made it a little easier on mom).

I almost made it out of the school without the tears. She is so ready for school and to "grow up".


The conversation we had with her last night was a little hard. Telling her that there are just some people in the world that are mean......She will have someone tell her that her shirt is ugly, and her shoes are stupid. She will have someone tell her that her hair looks dumb. I was dumbfounded at her response.

"It's o.k., I'll just ignore them."

Oh how I hope that it is that easy for her. She also informed us that she could compliment them in some way, to show them that they can be nice to other people.
WOW! That's my girl! On the other hand, we told her that she would meet some amazing people. Find new friends and that she would love her teachers.

I am so excited to see her put things in action. Eric and I have taught her for the past, almost 6 years, how to treat people. Using manners, complimenting others, sharing, good communication skills. We have taught her who she is and what she stands for. We have built up her self-esteem and taught her that just because someone is "a little different", it's o.k......we can be friends with them too. We've taught her to include people in playtime, it's never fun being left out. We've taught her how to love. All of this teaching, and she now she can use it. She can use those skills and knowledge to learn, to meet new friends, and to succeed! We love you Kyrcee!
