Kindergarten

The air is a bit cooler in the mornings and it is harvest season, school time is here. Natalie went to her first day of Kindergarten today. She was excited to go and came home very happy. I nearly lost it when she got off the bus. I was so happy to see her and a bit sad she is so big. A neighbor was over visiting, so I held it together. 

The highlight of her school day was when her teacher read a book. I asked her about the Spanish part of her day and she acted like it was just all fine and normal. This was a relief to me as I am still a little nervous how the Spanish portion is going to go for her.

Natalie ended her day with loosing her first tooth. It was very loose as it had been wiggling for a couple days. I convinced her to let me feel it wiggle and I purposely pushed it back pretty hard and it popped right out. Two milestones in one day and she is smiling about both.

Jenna sees all the new things happening to Natalie and I think feels a little left out. She definitely noticed Natalie’s abscence today, but enjoyed having more attention. She spent most of her day following Justin around the yard requesting he play Let It Go repeatedly on his outdoor speaker or to push her on the swing, "higher,big." She was very tired tonight after getting up early with Natalie the last three days. 

Our scripture we are focusing on for the school year comes from 3 Nephi 18:18. "I say unto you, ye must watch and pray always." We chose this to help teach the girls they can pray anytime they need help or just want to talk to Heavenly Father. I especially want Natalie to know this truth as she will be on her own at school each day, but Heavenly Father constantly watches over her and wants to help her. It is going to be a great year.
