Keely's First Day of School

Keely started school last Wednesday. Last week she went two hours a day, this week she'll start going three hours a day. We will be walking her to school and switching off (depending on schedules) between Jacob and Jordan and I dropping her off and picking her up. The next couple months it'll probably mostly be Jacob dropping her off and Jordan and I picking her up. Jacob typically walks her to school though it has been very hot, and it has been taking a lot of energy out of her. Today Jacob is going to try a different route that is shaded even though it is steeper. We'll see if that helps. When Jordan and I pick her up, we walk to the bottom of our hill and then catch our mini-bus up our hill.

She was really excited as we left for school.

All of us waiting for the elevator.

It was a very hot day, and the walk was almost too much for Keely! We were just a few minutes away when the sun was starting to get to her. I pulled out the umbrella to see if that would help. Here we are discussing sharing the umbrella.

We just wanted to get Keely to school in good spirits, and it was too hot to carry her so Jacob ended up holding the umbrella over Keely.

The three of us poising outside the school before we went inside. We had met one little girl in her class before and Keely asked about her as soon as we got there. All 25 kids and their parents waited outside for the principal to let us inside.

When she came out she was manned with a forehead thermometer, and every child and parent's temperature was taken. We have to take her temperature every day and record it before school and Keely's temperature will be taken before school each day.

Here is Keely playing before we left. The lady sitting behind her kept playing with Keely's hair and she wasn't super excited about it! When we picked her up, she talked non-stop about the days events. When we got home, she even asked to go back!
