Little School - at Pelican's Nest

If you haven't heard already, yesterday was Kirrily's first day in Day care. We told her it was Little School, "just like what Grace goes to". (Grace is the girl across the road that she adores). I think i was more worried than her. I dropped Hayley off at Mum and Dad's so i could concentrate on Kirrily's first day.

We walked into the centre, Kirrily grabbed Kristy's hand and she led her to her new classroom. Miss Trina and Miss Ngairi are her teachers. they are fantastic and Kirrily thought so too. Once Kirrily got into her room, she ran out the back with the other kids and started playing in the blue water. never mind "bye Mum i'm going to miss you", it was more like "bye mum, i'll be right playing here. see you this afternoon". i think i was more upset than her.


She's the one coming down the stairs
So i watched her play for a while, went into the room and hid in the kids bathroom area and peeped through the windows watching how she went. How did she go - GREAT!!!. so after 1/2 hr i gave her a kiss goodbye and told her i'd see her later.
By 3.30pm i went to pick her up. By 4pm, she was still in the sandpit building sandcastles. I couldn't get her out to go home. She told me all about the crunchy watermelon they ate, the toasted vegemite sandwiches, the chocolate mousse, the cold grapes and her little blue bed with yellow sheets. She can't wait to go back next week.
So the house was waaaaay quiet without the chat chat chat all day long from Kirrily. I got to catch up on some cleaning and jobs. not exciting i know but much easier to do with only Hayley around.
Here's hoping next week is just as good.
