Kayleigh went to Theodore Primary, and for Kindergarten her teacher's name was Mrs Tonna. Kayleigh was so excited on her first day of school - she had a new dress and shoes and lunch box. 2001 was a big year in her young life - she started Kindergarten, Natassja started Pre-school and Terry was born so she had a younger brother.
Kayleigh struggled somewhat with learning how to read, she only got to level 4 by the end of Kindergarten - not that she wasn't interested, she just seemed to find it difficult. Also making things harder was Natassja was using her home readers and teaching herself to read. Natassja started school the next year at level 6 - two levels higher than Kayleigh was at.
Maths also she struggled after learning the basic numbers - she found it difficult to see patterns in numbers - something she did not get from me :)
For Mother's Day that year, I received a plaster circle - painted green - with the words 'I love my mum because I just do'. I was starting to think that Kayleigh could not think of any other reason.
Kayleigh played mainly with a girl called Meredith that year and she seemed happy , as most kindy kids are. Kayleigh wore out the back of her dress that year - so she started wearing a netball skirt with a yellow shirt.
