Today is Red Day. That is, it is Red Day for all the kindergartners in Mrs. McWethy’s class. So, today Kate is supposed to wear red.
Mornings are not going so great here. Kate is extremely tired and does not want to wake. She rolls over and says it’s too early. This doesn’t surprise us at all. Ever since Kate was a baby, she has LOVED to sleep. When she was a toddler, I would wake her no later than 10 o’clock in the morning. Enough was enough and it was time for her to start her day. She takes after her Mama. Colleen loves to sleep in as well. Dad does, too, however the O.R. begins its scheduled day much earlier than that.
Back to Red Day… So, this morning it was time to get dressed ~ in red, of course. Having carefully chosen the perfect outfit the night before, Kate’s clothes were hanging on her closet doors. However, being the tired kindergartner that she is at 7:15 in the morning, red just was not her favorite color today. She didn’t like the outfit (that she was just fine with 12 hours prior) and didn’t want to wear red for Red Day. Before Mom started seeing red, we finally agreed on an outfit (which did contain some red…) and went on with the rest of our morning routine. On the way to school Kate asked, “Why do we have to wear red anyway? I already know my colors and just want to read some books already.”
There ya have it! Kate’s 5 year old thinking in a nutshell!
Monday really wasn’t any better for Brown Day. Kate wouldn’t even wear brown at all. She has the most darling brown dress, too. I am thinking she just isn’t into this color thing. All she can talk about is how she wants to learn how to read. I guess her wishes could be worse.
I am sure Blue Day won’t be any different. Gotta love the first few weeks of all-day kindergarten!
