First Day of School

Marie Dakar had her first day of Kindergarten yesterday (Thursday the 14th). School started very early here and she missed about a week and a half. She was very excited the day before and repeatedly asked, "demen lekol?" tomorrow school? She got to pick out her outfit, but as luck would have it the pants she chose had a broken snap. I made her change which made her a little sad. Papa cooked a special breakfast of eggs but she didn't want them. Maybe she was too excited to eat. Papa, Mackenson and I dropped her off at school just after the start of the day to miss the crowd. We worried how she was doing all day. When we picked her up at the end of the day she was very quiet until we got home and then she was very lively and a bit sassy. It must have been a good day. While she was gone I sewed Velcro over the snap of her broken pants so she could wear them tomorrow, she was excited when I showed them to her. Last night she went right to sleep after (or maybe during) her story with Papa.
