Happy Birthday to you in a few days.

If you liked Kindergarten you’ll love first grade!! I thought it was a pain because no sooner were they out the door than they were back. I have 5 girls and my last one had afternoon kindergarten. We would go to a mall that was 20 minutes away and about 2 times a week she would be late to class and would take a note from me.

She is now married with 2 kids and has a BS degree. We laugh about her being late (because it was no big deal) and her eating fast food in the car as I tried to get her to school on time. She still remembers what a great time we had together. There are some advantages to being last born.

Thanks so much for the early birthday wishes!

Definitely sounds like you made some great memories with your youngest daughter (and no doubt the other 4 girls as well)!

I was pretty lucky this year… Amanda was in afternoon kindergarten, but she stayed for the after school program as well (i.e., childcare). It was nice to have a full afternoon every weekday to GTD! (That’s “Get Things Done,” for those of you who aren’t familiar with David Allen’s work.)

I couldn’t imagine having to pick her up 3 hours earlier than I did each day… I’d never get anything done!

Oh, and “Mondo Kudos” to the moms out there who, like a friend of mine, have 3 children going 3 different directions at 3 different times of the day (i.e., 2 different preschools and 1 elementary school)! You deserve a big raise! 😉
