First Day of Kindergarten!

Well, today was Madeline's first day of kindergarten! What a big girl! We live so close to the school it only takes a few minutes to get there. I'll admit... walking through the front doors and seeing the mass of other kids older than her kinda scared me a sec. But then I heard someone say the kindergarteners were in the cafeteria and noticed a much smaller and quiet group of kids and parents. Each teacher has a small cone with their name on it that the kids line up behind. The teachers come get the kids at 7:45 and they all walk to class. Madeline wasn't quite sure until she actually saw Mrs. Biggs. Then she grabed her hand and got in line with the rest of the class. She ended up holding the assistant's hand all the way to the class room. Enjoy these few pictures of her first day!
















I picked her up at 10:30 in the front hall and it made me feel good to see she was happy to see me. On our way to the car though she started crying because she wanted to ride the bus home like all the other kids. I explained to her that we lived too close but she didn't care what the excuse was! She starts on Monday going everyday and as for now, is looking very forward to her first year of school.

So glad to hear you had a great first day of school. Grandpa John and I were thinking about you early this morning, wondering how it would go.
Love, Grandma Penny
