It’s been just about four weeks that my daughter has been in kindergarten. Nobody told me about the guilt one would feel about sending her to all day kindergarten. I thought this was a great opportunity to increase my monthly income. My daughter would go to school 9am to 3pm not a real long day and I would pick her up everyday at 3pm. Unfortunately my daughter is not happy about me working and her having to go to school everyday. I know this is all new for her because she has been very lucky since birth. I’ve made sure that either me or my husband would always be home with her if one is working. My parents have also been there since her birth to help out whenever they can. I’ve been lucky to be able to be a stay at home mom with my daughter, so really this is me just trying to get some feedback of other families in the same situation. Getting back to my child keeping busy I thought it would be a great idea to sign her up for gymnastics. I don’t want to change her routine through the week because she really needs to get used to 9 to 3pm school days. Starting this Sunday and every other Sunday after that she will be going to blow of some steam. I think this is a great out of school activity that she will love. Plus she will be with her dad and that’s something that they can share together.
It’s so funny because she’s so excited about this so she thought it would be something cool to tell another kid at school. This was our conversation in the car after school. My daughter ” I told my friend that I have gymnastics after school.” The friend said that gymnastics isn’t cool.” Then I asked my daughter what she said.” My friend thinks she is a princess.” Then my daughter tells me that she told her friend about gymnastics because she thought she would think it’s cool. My daughter is 5 years old and already worrying about if some one thinks she’s cool or not. I said to my daughter don’t worry about what others think of you. Do things that you are happy doing, things that you love.
I really hope she will have fun this Sunday and not worry about what other think. She’s definitely on the right track!!!
