I'm happy to report that week one was a success! June has a week of kindergarten under her belt, and I didn't have any major break-downs. Nice work Johnsons!
Here are some highlights:
1. Due to an overdose of cold medicine, Mom read the time wrong and was a half-hour late to pick June up on her first day. The office called! I rushed to the rescue feeling like the world's worst mom, but June told me, "It's okay, you could let me stay here longer if you want to." At least I really knew she loved school. But I may never forgive myself.
2. June LOVES Mrs. McDonald! We're so glad her broken arm didn't keep her down! She's the perfect teacher!
3. June made three friends. Hannah, Hailey, and she can't remember the other girl's names - but they have already been invited to June's birthday party in March. June's a planner.
4. Winnie misses her sister. But she LOVES walking June to school. And she really loves spending some alone time with Mom. I forgot how easy it was to run errands with only one child in tow. 5. Two and a half hours isn't long enough to get my chores done. The drop-off, drive home, drive back, and pick-up make it feel like June goes to school for 15 minutes! Maybe we'll just start taking a nap in the parking lot!
6. June is loving it! I just knew she'd get a taste of the good life at school and never look back. Her days are filled with singing, art projects, shape sorting, story-reading, fun assemblies, yummy snacks, playground time, and making sweet new friends. Look out med school, here June comes!

That's sad and funny that you were late to pick June up. But you can't beat yourself up over it...If we moms beat ourselves up for everything we thought was aweful...we'd be dead!
Remember in Home Alone when John Candy tells the story about leavin the little tyke all day at the funeral home. He finally started talking again. And you thought you were the only one. At the very least, you have now tested out the school's handling of such a thing. Sounds like they came through with flying colors. Maybe a blessing in disquise! Love MUM
I am so glad that everything is going well for you and her. It is such a crazy emotional ride when the oldest goes to school.... just wait until they are gone all day... it really feels like they are never home... we start this next week and I am so sad!
Ummm... I read your last post and got all teary eyed. What's wrong with me? I can't believe Junie's in kindergarten. Tell her to stop growing up. And it's okay if you cried in the parking lot, because I cried and I'm not even her mom. Sheesh.
She's is the cutest kindergartener I've even seen. Her hair! So adorable. I this she and Rebecca would LOVE playing together.
I think you need to post every week so we can keep up with June and Win!!! It is amazing how much they have grown, just since you were here!! I guess it makes sense that I am feeling so old!!!!
June is so darn cute! Don't worry, when I was picking up the twins on their first day of school Ada feel out of her stroller. I got a lot of great looks. Oh well, you do what you can!
I am SO JEALOUS that kindergarten is only 2.5 hours. I hate that it's 7 hours here. Makes me want to move away!
Hey! Your family picture is gorgeous! You look so cute! I love Winnie snickering on the side. :) I'm glad the kindergarten split went well. I can't believe you have a daughter in kindergarten! Where did the time go??
I knew you could do it Jess!! I wasn't even worried about June. I Love winnie's expression in your family picture just cracks me up.
