Well, the dress rehearsal happened and we are now waiting for the first day. My lovely introvert self really shows up when we enter into new things like the school world. I walked right past all the sign up tables, are you kidding me! We went to the classroom, met the teacher, filled out some papers, and looked around...not too bad but the not knowing where we were going and PTO moms in crazy tie died shirts was a little stressful. I think that they forget their first time walking into a strange place with a little one who is nervous too. There were NO signs pointing me where to go and apparently I should have gotten an email telling me details and I am a bother because I didn't. What ever happened to a separate kindergarten welcome time? Then we could ask "dumb questions" like, where is the kindergarten playground where I am supposed to drop my kid off at? Seriously, will there be signs the first day of school.
Then I read in all the papers they gave us that there will be a time to meet the other kindergarten parents the first day. It is at a park by the school and if we need we can bring Kleenex. YIKES! Not only does it totally frighten me to have to go meet other people but they might be crying about dropping their kid off!?!?!? I pretty much have written that off. My husband thinks I should go to meet other people, I think I will send him. He likes that kind of thing plus they are serving coffee...he is the only coffee drinker in our house. I will let you know if I go.
I will try to be nice, I am sure play dates and sleepovers are coming up faster than I can imagine and it is probably good to know the parents for safety reasons. I will also volunteer for something in the classroom...maybe I can organize something (I love to organize) and then that will get me to meet other moms/dads in a less weird way...I will try!
