Ally's in Kindergarden

Ally started school on the 4th of September. She loves it, as we thought she would. She's the little social bug and is meeting new friends each day. She has a great teacher, Ms. Lyle, who happens to be in Grandma & Grandpa White's ward at church. We have many friends who have had Ms. Lyle in the past and know Ally is in good hands!

A schedule was one of Ally's biggest challenges. She likes to sleep in. On the third day, I found it difficult to get her going and get her list of things done to get to the bus stop. I asked her to make her bed and get dressed...10-15 minutes later, she hadn't done anything! She was sitting on her bed day-dreaming. I mentioned that we don't have the time to sit around that it's important to do what's on the list so we can make it to the bus stop and not miss the bus. We got ready....with me on her case every 5 seconds and being as patient as I could be. On the way to the bus stop...Kaitlyn was holding Ally's hand and telling her "hurry, we can't miss the bus!" Ally calmly said: "oh, don't worry if I miss the bus, mommy will just drive me." You can imagine my reaction after the conversation we had 20 minutes prior!!! The next morning the schedule (with pictures drawn to match each task) was posted on the wall....she knows to follow the routine and has been following it. It's fun watching her grow up!!!
