Rachel's first day at Kindy

Today was Rachel's first day at Kindy. She is going Monday, Thursday and Friday mornings. Below is a photo of my very excited girl. She has been wanting to stay at Kindy for about a year now. She wasn't 100% sure about staying without mummy, but she was fine.

Since she got home she has talked all about going to Kindy (a contrast to older brother). Here are some of what she said:

• 'I had lots of fun there'
• 'I dance to the rainbow music'
• 'There was a story about a Crocodile'
• 'I played with the dolls with one of the teachers.'
• Talking on the phone to daddy:'I am at home and I went to Kindy'

Before I left she was at the carpentry table where Andrew was. She tried to copy the big boys nailing things in with little success. Then she went to one of the teachers and asked for help.

Andrew was also excited about Rachel coming to Kindy. Before we left he had been telling her that he would be there but she would be in the teddy bear group and he was a star fish. (They have about 15 minutes in smaller groups during the session.) When we got to Kindy he had to tell all the teachers that it was Rachel's first day at Kindy. They will have about 6 sessions together before Andrew goes off to school in a few weeks.
