It started with a squeal at 6:23 a.m. Sure enough, it was Maisie and there was no
telling what had just happened. Did her
band-aid fall off… did she need to pee… were her pajamas twisted… did the cat
wander into her room… did she find a tick…there’s no telling with this girl,
all we knew was that she was squealing.
Me: Good Morning Sugar Plum! Everything okay in here?
Maisie: Today is my last day of school!?
Me: Yep. Today’s the
day! Are you excited?
Maisie with more squeeling:
Yes, I can’t believe this!
Me: Tomorrow, you will be a kindergartener! You have
Kindergarten clinic tomorrow.
Maisie: What do you do at Kindergarten Clinic?
Me: Well, I think you do kindergarten activities, play and
meet new kids.
Maisie: whew.
Me: What did you think you would do?
Maisie with an eyeroll: running.
After choosing a fabulous dress for the day, applying fairy
tattoo earrings and doing her hair in not one ponytail, but a ponytail at the
top with a double-rubberband-twist pony tail at the bottom, she was feeling like
wrapping this preschool gig up.
We slicked Molly’s hair back too- but that’s for another
post.
While the breakfast chaos was underway, we heard the crash. Yep, Maisie was on the floor with a plate of
syrupy waffles falling behind her.
“MOVE!” I yelled as Maisie ran to
the other side of the kitchen crying.
Other than a small area of syrup on the hem of her dress, she was spared
by the syrup, fork and waffle pieces falling on her. Talk about ‘whew’.
The situation could have gone in so many directions at that
moment; yet through it all, she handled herself with grace and dignity.
Luckily for us, we’re dealing with a kindergartener
now. Easy peasy.
