Times are a Changing

So Mommy says the first week of kindergarten she learned things like ABCs and 123s (as if she actually remembers). Wanna know what I learned the first week of kindergarten?   All about LOCKDOWN.

Lockdown is when they have to lock all the doors to the school until it's safe again. So we learned what to do in our classroom, what to do in the lunchroom, what to do in the library, what to do in gym and what to do in the different center we go to each day. Sometimes you have to get under the desk, depending on why the lockdown is happening. I'm not sure what the big deal is, but Mommy says it's sad this is the first thing I had to learn in kindergarten.

Maybe now that we know all about that, we can start learning innocent things, like ABCs...

Sleeping Beauty Ballet Camp

Before school started, I got to go to dance camp. It was Sleeping Beauty Ballet Camp. Ballet camp is serious stuff, not only did I have to wear an official ballet outfit and do my hair ballerina style (bun or ponytail only), there was a performance at the end of camp. Here are some pics of the performance fun.
 
 
 
So happy to see my little brother there....
 

By the way he's pointing, I'm thinking he's so happy to see the other ballerinas there....

Pre-performance pose....

Let the performance begin...



Do you see the way he's looking into my eyes, he's mesmerized!

Ballet camp art...

Post-performance pose. I rocked the performance!!!!

Ballet, it ain't that hard. Look I can do it too....

Me and Sleeping Beauty (she's a real ballerina)....
 
 
 
Camp was so much fun, I want to be a ballerina now!!! Mommy and Daddy spent a small fortune on ballet camp, but the real expense were the tights - I kept running them, so I needed a new pair every day. If I keep that up, I'm not sure they'll be able to afford more ballet lessons...

Kindergarten Predictions

Before Kindergarten
What’s going to be the best thing about kindergarten?
AB - "That we learn and get to go outside on the playground, eat lunch and have a nurse if we don’t feel good. It’s like taking care of children. That’s the best thing about kindergarten."

 
What’s the worst thing about going to kindergarten?
AB - "Having my friends go to the principal’s office."

Why would they go there?
AB - "Some of my friends will be boys. Like John from preschool, he’ll have to go to the principal's office cause he doesn’t behave."

 After The First Day of Kindergarten

What was the best thing about kindergarten?
AB - "Having fun. We got to go on the playground. There was bird poop on the playground. There really was."

 What was the worst thing about going to kindergarten?
AB - "I didn’t have a worst part."
