1 - Sending my child off the first day was not traumatic like I expected it to be. The 2nd day, though, it was a little weird to send my husband off to work in the morning and have my 5 year old leave with him.
2 - My child didn't seem to be traumatized at all by going to school. Actually, I expected her to be quite chatty about it all, but she was pretty nonchalant about the whole thing when I picked her up her first day.3 - Walking with my other kids to pick up my kindergartener from school, though it sounds like a fun family activity, is overrated. It's hot and it takes a looong time for us to walk home, even if we hadn't stopped to chat with friends.
4 - My 3 year old did okay with his big sister/playmate being gone in the morning; he actually played with his younger sister. A nice thing about having kids close in age, is there's always another one to play with.
As my kindergartener put it (after 3 days of school), "It seems like I just started kindergarten yesterday". But, we've made it through the first week. I think I'm going to be able to handle it. My child is happy and making friends. Now, if I can remember to go pick her up in the middle of the morning, we'll be just fine.
