1st Day of Kindergarten

Kaylen had a great 1st day of school. For the longest time she said she wasn't excited but nervous. We didn't believe her - she's not the nervous type. Yesterday the excitement started showing. Last night she was really excited! This morning she acted just like it was any other day. I went over a few things with her, like which way she goes to find her classroom when she gets in the school, etc. She says, "I know, I know..." :)

Getting ready - these were a few days ago. We took her supplies to school on Meet the Teacher night - they didn't all fit in her bag, and she could hardly carry them all!







More pix from this morning - yep I was one of two crazy moms taking pictures at daycare. The other one was Ryan's mom - she also followed the bus to school to take a few pictures there too. Ryan is who she's sitting next to on the bus - he's been in her class for the last 2 1/2 years at daycare, and now not only goes to the same elementary school, but is in the same kindergarten classroom.

Kaylen had a great day. She told me all about it when we got home. It took about an hour telling me everything. She really likes her teacher. She learned some new rules, some new routines, went all the way across the monkey bars, had music class, and school lunch that apparently was really yummy - pizza, raw veggies & dip, chocolate milk. She said she had 5 recesses, but she included the 3 regular ones, an outdoor activity her class did, and then outdoor playtime after school at daycare.

Anyway, day 1 was a success, and I think it's going to be a great school year!
