Breakfast on the first day, she wanted juice and chocolate milk, and an english muffin - one side with peanut butter, one side with butter. She picked out the color shirt and skirt to wear, and was super excited. Everyday she asked if it was fall yet so she could "go to Kindergarten at Gaston Day School." Finally, it was time!
I took this picture because she just looks so big. Her long legs and sweet little uniform, hair braided. It rained on the way to school, but it was clear when we walked her inside. Yes, all of us walked her in. She introduced us one by one to her teacher and then gave us all hugs and kisses and waved goodbye and walked in her class. She is so so brave.
She wanted to be silly for her "First Day" shot, and I let her. Meredith was "whooshing and zooming" right along with her. She has had an amazing time the first two weeks. It's like she was born for Kindergarten. She comes home everyday excited to tell us about Monty the Monkey, her room's mascot, or being a Bucket Filler, or how she saw her friends Kylie and Caroline at recess. Her teacher talks about how sympathetic she is towards other children and how helpful she is in general. Time at home has taken some adjustment, and I miss her a lot, but I have gotten a lot more intentional about the quality time I'm getting with the other three.
