School supplies have been purchased and labeled. All of the requirements have been met. Paperwork has been filled out. School registration is next Wednesday and Thursday. I just CANNOT believe Tiny Dancer starts kindergarten in less than a month. The summer flew by and I'm more nervous than she is (at least right now). My husband told me I needed to remember to exude calmness on her first day. To be honest, I'm not that worried about myself during the time... I'm more worried about Dad! He's the teary-eyed one when the girls do something new. I mean, he got choked up at kindergarten roundup! I'll be fine when we take her and breakdown once we're in the parking lot. That's typically how I roll.

We're still working on sight word flash cards. She is so not interested. I don't know how to make her interested. She's smart, but I'm worried about her not applying herself. And I get it, she's in kindergarten, but I don't want a lazy worker in school! That won't bode well for if (when) we eventually make the change into homeschooling. I don't have the patience for lazy workers!

Hopefully, once she gets in there, the reality will set in and she will work hard. Hopefully, once she gets there, the reality will set in that I have a KINDERGARTENER. Because right now, it just does not seem possible that Tiny Dancer is old enough for kindergarten. She's still wearing a 3T swimsuit for goodness' sake.
