First day of Kindergarten

It came & went so quickly it's hard to believe how much anxiety people have about the first day of school. Maybe I just really didn't feel anxious because she was in preschool all last year. It was exciting, I was excited for her. It was an absolute zoo at the school this morning, hopefully today was an exception rather than the rule! We painted Emma's toes pink last night & put little silver hearts on them....she loves having her toes painted, very girlie. I tried to get a picture of it but this dumb camera wouldn't get a close up (we are getting a new camera though...YAY!). This morning she grabbed the wrong backpack & was upset because she didn't have her very own scissors for class today. Which was ok because they didn't use them. Then when I picked her up she was upset because she didn't get to ride the bus. I think my neighbor Emily & I are going to let Emma & Logan ride tomorrow since they'll be together. I'm glad he's in her class with her. There are also a couple kids from our ward in her class so she knows a few people already. Her teacher's name is Mrs. Latham & she seems nice. I'm hoping to get to know her more over the school year. Especially since I'm in the PTA. We'll see how that goes. Emma already has homework. She gets it on Monday & it's due on Friday. This week is really a "get to know you" question & answer sheet. And, Emma tells me they get snacks every day....now that's something to be excited about!

You took so many more pictures than I did. I took just one today. How exciting for Emma today and for you and Coray too. Big steps you made today. Did you cry at all?

So it begins......Your life will never be the same now that you've got a school age child! Prepare yourself for YEARS of PTA, room mom/dad, and all the extra curricular FUN stuff! This is what you never knew you always wanted! I remember Coray's first day of kindergarden. Skye was his "little mother" making sure he had his jacket and backpack etc. (SO CUTE!) and he was busting with pride at being old enough to FINALLY go to school. Ahhh....memories! Thanks for sharing the pictures, looks like a great first day!
Love to all!

We need to get together so she can tell Parker and Cameron all about her school.
