 “Juliana, please lower your voice.” “Stop yelling!” “Your brothers are asleep, you need to whisper.” All day long these are the things that I say to her and usually she keeps talking at the same volume. It is as if she turned 6 and that sometimes quiet / inside voice went away forever. Today Juliana’s . . . → Read More: I Found Her Quiet Voice The school bus pulls up in front of the house and I watch her blond head pop out of her seat and walk to the steps. She bounces across the street, runs up the sidewalk and flies through the front door – she exudes energy as she tosses her coat and backpack and kicks . . . → Read More: They Can’t All be Awesome Days  Following the completion of the first 12-weeks of school we went to Juliana’s parent teacher conference last week. My first question – 12-weeks? Does this mean Kindergarten is 1/3 over already? Yes, it does. I had to hold back tears at that point because this year is going by much too quickly. Spoiler alert . . . → Read More: Kindergarten 12-weeks in the books  Juliana doesn’t provide a lot of details about what happens during the day at school. The information we do hear is generally out of context – a random statement that makes little sense. I think this is common for her age.

I was up very early to make sure everything was ready, but I had been up late the night before to get things ready so I was mostly up early for no reason. Juliana had a very difficult time falling asleep Sunday night so getting her up and moving . . . → Read More: First Day of Kindergarten It’s the night before Juliana’s first day of Kindergarten. Her backpack and her lunch are packed. Her outfit is picked out. The camera battery is charged and the memory card has plenty of space. We have talked a lot about what to expect tomorrow morning. Tonight I asked her what she was doing tomorrow . . . → Read More: Ready for Kindergarten  Juliana clutched my hand tightly as we walked into her school for Kindergarten orientation. She was glued so close to my side that she tripped me several times as we made our way to her classroom. We signed in and she wanted to stay in the hallway and look for her cubby instead of . . . → Read More: Juliana’s New BFF  An October birthday equaled three full years of preschool for Juliana, it seemed like she was in preschool forever (half of her life to this point).
