Em's first days of Kindergarten!

Emerson's staggered entry date for Kindergarten was on the 2nd of September!  She spent 1 hour in her classroom, with 6 other classmates.  She had a blast but was upset that she could not go back until the following Monday!  Staggered Entry is a bit of a tease for all the students who are more than ready to start!!  Emerson's teacher is Mme. Cena.  She is a good friend of a friend of mine and so I've been hearing how fabulous she is ;)  Emerson made sure to say "Boujour!" to Mme. Cena and is very interested in learning new French words and even more interested in impressing Mme. Cena ;)  Emerson's little buddy, Nathan, is in the same class as her.  She was excited to be in the same class as Nathan.  Nathan is the younger brother of one of Blake's best friends and Nathan and Emerson played on the same soccer team.  The 4 of them are all basically joined at the hip and it was nice that Emerson had a familiar face in her class!  Emerson's first full morning of Kindergarten was on the 8th and that was also the first day she rode the bus home from school!  We went to the school to watch her get on the bus and then rushed home to wait!  She ran off the bus and right in to my arms :)  She was very excited to see us!!  I love those moments :)  She is enjoying school but has asked if she has to take the bus.  She finds the ride long and told me, "It's so long before I get to see you Mommy."  That really tug on my heart strings :s  She does need to take the bus because Reese's preschool is over at 11:15 and she is dismissed from Kindergarten at 11:22.  There is an approx. 10 minute drive between the preschool and school, so I would never make it to the school in time for Kindergarten dismissal.  Nathan recently started riding the bus and I requested they sit together, so I'm hoping this will help her enjoy the bus ride a little more!  As far as school goes, she is loving Kindergarten and learning so much already!  She comes home with new French words and many stories every day.  She is very excited about their upcoming field trip to Sobey's!  We are excited for Em and look forward to seeing her grow during this school year :)  Here's a few pics of Em on her first days of Kindergarten!
