Once again it is time to go back to school, Although I am not old enough to have a first grader Matayia has some how ended up there. All summer long I tried to talk her into just staying in kindergarten so that she could stay home and play with me, but she never agreed. We had a great time doing a little school shopping this summer in Park City. We decided to make it a girls weekend, with Val, Jacie and Bryn. We stayed at the Homestead in Heber, it was an eventful night that ended with milkshakes for dinner!!
All summer long Kaitlyn was sure that she was also going to be going back to school in the fall. Whenever Matayia proudly told people that she was going to school Kaitlyn always added that she was going to school too. We tried to tell her that she could go to school when she turned 5 but she didn't seem to understand.
The first day of school came and Matayia was so excited to get up and get going, and so was Kaitlyn. She got up and put some of her new school clothes on, and so did Kaitlyn. When it was time to go We went out back to take pictures of her on her first day of school, and of coarse so did Kaitlyn. I could tell then that this was going to end bad. As we got in the car to go to school Kaitlyn of coarse slipped on her backpack and jumped in.
We went around back to find the dot with Matayia's teachers name on it. The line was already forming with eager little first graders. We did not add one little girl to it but you guessed it two. I have to say Kaitlyn looked so proud standing in that line and Matayia did look a little nervous. As the class walked down the hall to find their new classroom Kaitlyn eagerly followed right in line.
Why I did not put a stop to this then I don't know, deep down at this point I thought it was a little cute. As the kids filed into the classroom looking for the cubbies to put their backpacks, Kaitlyn became a little worried, I lost sight of her for a moment only to find her with her backpack off looking for her cubby. I knew then we better make a quick exit before, this became a big scene. I quickly picked her up told Matayia good bye and ran for the door. Kaitlyn was so confused, but thankfully there was not a big scene. It has been so fun to have some alone time with Kaitlyn while Matayia is at school. It reminds me of the summer before Kaitlyn was born, I finally stopped working and had a great summer with just Maytayia. Kaitlyn wants so much to big, and I really want her to stay little. Hopefully we can have some great "alone" moments. But either way Matayia is back to school!
