Hannah's 1st day of Big School!

Last night it was such an effort to get Hannah into bed, i think she was so excited that she couldn't sleep . LOL. she kept coming out of her room , first it was for a drink, then the toilet, then to tell me she had to wear her white socks with her school shoes........ then finally she fell asleep just after 10pm!
she woke up this morning with a huge smile on her face, and said, I'm going to school today aren't I! i think she was nervous cause she didn't have much for breakfast, only 2 or 3 spoonfuls of special K.
her start time was 9.30am, we all went to see her off on her new adventure. I walked her up to the teacher sitting outside the door, where she got her name tag pinned on her uniform, Greg watched from the window with Kaylee and Max, and i took Hannah into her classroom.she put her bag into a locker, and off she went, she didn't even care if i was behind her or not, i had to ask her for a kiss and a hug goodbye!!!
so she gave me the biggest hug and told me i can go now, so i did.
i think we were there for all of 10 minutes!
there were no tears, but Greg and i had lumps in our throats as our biggest baby headed off to big school!


Kaylee Max and I went to playgroup, which was good, i wasn't thinking about Hannah.

3pm the bell goes to pick her up.
at 2.40pm i headed up to the school to pick Hannah up, when i got there i tapped on the window, and when she saw me, her face turned from a smile to an evil frown!

the bell went, and all the parents go into the classroom to collect the kids.
the poor teachers got bombarded by ALL the parents , so I thought i will wait til 1 day next week before i approach them LOL.
all the kids were sitting on the carpet in a circle and were told, if they see their Mums they can go, well Hannah was standing up, and then after the teacher said that, she looked straight at me and she sat down!! ( little bugger)
so i moved to the side of the room out of everybodys way, and when she finally decided to come to me i asked her,

me. did you have a good day
Hannah.....NO ( with a frown)

me..what did you do today
Hannah.. nofing ( arms folded in a huff)

me.. did you make any new friends
Hannah..no, I don't have any friends. I didn't talk to anyone!

she's got attitude already and its only day 1 !!!!!

a few hrs later i asked her did the teacher read a story? or did she do any drawings and a few other questions
this time i got answers with a smile on her face and she told us all about her day, the teacher read her a story about black and white birds (magpies) that's the pic on the school crest. and they played hopscotch and her buddy Lucy from yr 6 helper her buy her 1st ice-block from the canteen at lunch time.
so she did have a great day, she just didn't want to come home LOL

im thinking maybe 3 or 4 weeks down the track it will sink in that she actually has to go there everyday, and for the next 13yrs LOL
