NOT my first day of Kindergarten!!

We have been so excited for so long for Madison to start her first day of Kindergarten. She kept asking every day for weeks before her first day "how many days left now?!" So, we called the school to get some information on her kindergarten testing and when school starts and all that and they said we would get something in the mail. Well, since we didn't get anything in the mail, I went to their website for some info and it showed that school starts on July 27th so that morning we had the video camera, our camera and the kids all ready to go. We headed out to Beehive Elementary. When we got to the school, there was a lot of excitement in the air, lots of parents going to take their kids on the first day. We walked up to the school, found the list of classrooms/teachers. Madi is in room 108, Mrs. Barnes. We made our way to her room and found it empty...except for the teacher. We thought it was kinda odd, but a lot of parents were still wandering the halls so we decided to walk around and do the same. We took them outside to play on the playground for a few minutes....then the bell rang! All the kids started running inside so we went to take her back to her classroom....still empty. We went to the front office and I asked them, "Where does she go...does she need to line up outside or something". So the office lady asked me what grade she is in and I said Kindergarten. "Oh, Kindergarten doesn't start until next Monday." What!!?? I was sooo dissapointed and I coul tell Madi was too. Then the office lady asked what her name was and told us we had a meeting with the teacher at 8:30 that morning...it was 8:29 when she told us this!!

So we went back to the classroom to sit there for 45 minutes while she did her testing with her teacher, wondering why the heck nobody told us that kindergarten starts a week later than EVERYBODY else!! Then, a few days LATER, we got a notice in the mail with the information about testing/first day of school. A little late, don't ya think!!

Well, here are some pics of her NOT first day of Kindergarten!!

I am very excited to announce that Madi's actual first day of Kindergarten is tomorrow and I am excited to know that she will actually be going to school tomorrow! Not many people get to do the first day of school twice!! Ha ha!!
