Okay all...it's time for me to dive back into this thread. DD4 became DD5 yesterday (who said she could grow up?!?) and will be starting first grade on Monday.

She's a little apprehensive, in spite of the fact that she used to go to school with me every day to collect her brothers. She even spent a day there last spring.

I had a talk with my mom about DD5's uncertainty, and she was very reassuring. Moms can be so wonderful in that regard; wonder if I'll ever turn out that way?

Anyway, reports to follow next week.

P.S. LOL: we could just as easily rename this thread "The Ultimate Kindergarten Thread!"
