Excited, nervous, worried and happy are just a few of the emotions that are floating around today {and not just for Issy}.
Isabelle has been counting down to this day since the start of the Christmas holidays and is more than ready to get started at school.
This morning started off with breakfast cooked by Aunty Amanda, and was just a relaxed time for Issy to get ready for school.
We arrived at school {after a few photos at home, and by few, I mean I got maybe three good ones - she was very eager to get out the door} and just inside the school gate was a table set up with name tags for the new Kindergarten students.
We found Issy's tag, and as we made our way into the school one of the Year Six students took Issy by the hand and led her off to where the Kindy classes were waiting for the bell to ring.
She sat and listened to the Principal's welcome back message and then after a super quick goodbye from me, she was off to her classroom. She looked a little nervous, but there was no tears {from either of us} so that was a plus.
This year, the teachers were trying a new first day routine and the parents were asked to wait in the undercover area while the kids went off to class, so there was no opportunity for a photo of Issy sitting at her school desk. :(
There was a morning tea for the new Kindergarten parents, and when there I asked the Principal if there would be a chance to get a photo of Isabelle at her desk, and he told me he would talk to the teachers but later this week should be fine.
Last night we read a book that Aunty Amanda lent her called The Kissing Hand and even came with the character called Chester.
Chester headed off to school with Isabelle today, but first needed a special photo with her :)
Today is only a half day, so I will be heading back to pick her up at 12.30, and then we are heading over to preschool, so she can show her teachers her school uniform and to say hello.
