Kindergarten Sign-Up

My baby is enrolled in kindergarten. I know she's not really my baby. She's almost 5 and honestly she looks and acts like she's even older than that most days. But she'll always be my baby and this big step is probably harder on me than it is on her. After I picked her up from preschool (and dropped Hailey off with the neighbor), Hannah and I headed over to enroll her in kindergarten. She was a little shy at first, but once a teacher took her hand, she was her normal happy self. They did a hearing test, an eye test, a speech test, and a readiness test while I filled out paperwork. The teacher who did her readiness test said she was very funny - so excited to give each answer and she answered with enthusiasm. I had to laugh because apparently she told them she could only count to 10 (she can count to 79) but it doesn't really matter, they are only testing to weed out kids who may need all day kindergarten for some extra help. When I asked why she told them that, she said she only wanted to count to 10. LOL, okay, whatever. Anyway, we put in a preference for afternoon kindergarten (11:15am-2pm - morning was 7:45am-10:30am, yikes!) and were told that there was a slight chance all classes may end up full day (7:45am-2pm), so now I guess we just wait and see. Everyone was very polite and they gave Hannah a cookie and some juice on the way out. She came out telling me that she was excited to go to kindergarten. Only 4 more months!
