Big Day....The Big "K"....

My baby is off to Kindergarten!! She was very excited and had her clothes laid out and backpack ready to go last night. We dropped off Madalyn first and then I waited with Mackenzie till they kicked out the parents. She did great. She had lots of questions and was a bit concerned she would forget the room number. She came home after "meet the teacher" on Friday and wrote it down on a piece of paper. She carried that piece of paper around all weekend and then tucked into her name tag pouch that hangs around her neck. The only problem she might have is opening her thermos, so we'll see.....


Walking from the lunchroom with her class. She is bolder and more confident than Madalyn in certain things and had no problem lining up with class and going with the flow.

My sweet Madalyn....still teary on the first days of school. She is in a new building this year and is easily overwhelmed. She is also easily embarrassed so it creates a conflict for her between wanting to cry and not wanting to let people see her cry. But I told her I'd be home later today to hear about her day and she was able to pull it together enough for me to take Mackenzie to her class. I went back and peeked in on her and she was saying the Pledge and doing ok.

Mason joined us and had to carry his Thomas backpack as well. He starts preschool in two weeks and is so excited.....
