New Beginnings!

Emma started school Monday as a first grader! I was so excited for her bc she is in class with her little friend Annabelle, whom she spent the whole summer with. I just knew that she was gonna be loving going to school and seeing her friends, BUT I was wrong!!!

Emma has informed me that she does not like school this year because it is boring. I asked her why she said that and she said "momma it just isn't any fun. We only have one recess, AND all we do is math!! It is so not fair mom, school is totally unacceptable"

So, after I stopped laughing, she proceeded to tell me how she changed her card because she was actin silly. It was the third day of school and she had already had to pull her card!! I asked her why she did what she did, and her response this time was hilarious! "momma, it is so boring, I was trying to make it more fun for everyone, I mean come on momma! The teacher is all about math, and that is just not fun!" I sat there trying not to smile and laugh, because I could just see her snapping her fingers in a Z after she said it!

Now, I love my daughter, but she is a pistol! I am constantly amused by her and she knows it! So, for that new beginning we are needing lots of prayer. I am afraid that if already dislikes school at 6, then we are in for a tough 11 more years ahead!

Abbi Grace will be starting preschool this year, which it is a huge step for me to let her go to school knowing I am not just sitting at home waiting for her! She is my baby, and it is hard for me to let her grow up.
