I am definitely not the star of the week
Annie is Star Of The Week at school this week, starting this morning. They sent her home a sheet to fill in about herself & asked her to bring in pictures to share with the class. She was very excited about this all weekend, as we prepared everything. In addition to sharing this info with the class, she also gets to walk the attendance slip down to the office every morning and be the line leader all week.
This morning, I told Annie & Shelby that, if they got their snowpants & boots on while I was driving Allison to school, I would drive them to the bus stop. It’s only a block away, but they like when we have time to drive there because then they can wait for the bus in the warm car, listening to the radio.
So, they were all ready when I got back from the high school - coats, backpacks & all. We piled into the car, got the seatbelts on, drove the block to the bus stop & waited. While waiting, Annie told me about how she’ll get called up by her teacher & get to tell the class about her Star of the Week stuff, show her pictures, etc.
The bus came down the street. We got out of the car, crossed to the bus stop, got in line & I gave them kisses & wished them a good day.
As Annie walked up the stairs & got onto the bus, I finally remembered that I hadn’t brushed her hair this morning and that it was too late to do anything about it.
I hope it doesn’t look too much worse than it normally does, when she’s up there being the Star of the Week. It usually gets pretty messy when she puts the hood of her coat up, anyway. And, at least it’s kindergarten, I don’t think any of the kids will notice, anyway.
