kindra is not a huge fan of the "first day of school". i mean, once she gets there, she is fine but there are always a few tears shed as i gently ease her into the classroom. it did help that there were some old friends in her class this year too...and one that is, how should i put this, um, sometimes not so nice. hahaha. now i'm not about to bash a 7 yr old so i'll just move on with that but let's just say that she ssstttrrriiikes again. meaning that already, this morning, there was another incident.
kindra was excited that one of the new girls to our neighborhood was going to be in her class and was going to make her feel "welcome" and "included". well long story short, when she welcomed her at recess to "all be friends", the bestie or sometimes beastie, told the new girl to "say no. you're not our friend today" to kindra. boooo. seriously booooo. i have no idea what was said but i do know that kindra went and played with some other girls. (and yes. i know that this incident bothered me more than it did her!?! and yes. i know that this is only grade 2 but still)
so when she told me this story i said "well kindra, next time just tell her to stop being silly and that you can all be friends and do something fun together." in which she replied back "no mom. i don't even care. i just went and played with some other friends and i don't want to be mean and make anyone feel bad by calling them silly." "wow", i thought. "you think the word silly is mean?!" however, it did make me a bit happy.
1. my daughter does not care about following the leader
and
2. my daughter cares about saying unkind things
and
3. my daughter actually does listen to what i am saying
too funny. one of the normal events that happen on a playground but as a parent, you hate when you might think that "mean girl" activities might be involving or happening to your child!? hehehe
anyway....
ps...and i also received the best news on our drive home after school today. "nope. i'm not gona crush on or marry mitchell like i thought i would like last year. that was so 1st grade and this is so gona be 2nd. but he still is cute but nope. i'm over it" hehehehehehehehehehehe i'm over it? now i wonder where she's heard that quote before??? hmmmmm??? hehehehehehe!!! love it!!!

Oh Katie I feel horrible. So sorry! I am not going to be able to sleep....She was so excited to see Kindra today. She even asked if she could bring the horses she bought for Kindra to school today. I'll have to talk to her in the morning and get details. :( Like I said, I am so sorry!!!
xoxoxo
no need for a sorry doll!!!
Well I talked to her this morning and her story was a bit different, she said Rebecca said that but nobody followed her and said anything. She said she is going to tell Rebecca to be nice? I don't know who this girl is but I may have to go to school and find out :)
