First Day of Kindergarten

Today is Lilypie's first day of Kindergarten! I was more nervous about Kindergarten this year than I was about Preschool last year, which seems strange since you'd think I'd be used to the school routine. But Pre-K was at our church surrounded by people I know, and who love her like their own, so this is breaking new ground, sending her off to public school.

 We started off by eating some yummy eggs!

Grace enjoyed her eggs too. Clementine was still sleeping, which makes me wonder, did anyone ever feed her when she woke up? I don't remember, Jim did you do it? Hmmm....

My morning coffee!

Our big Kindergartner all ready to head off to school!

She looks so big and pretty!

I love Daddy!

I love Mommy!

I love my sisters!

I wasn't expecting to be able to stay with Lily, so I didn't bring my nice camera. But it was kind of a free for all on the first day of school, so I got to go watch her play on the playground, and snapped a few iPhone pics. She enjoyed playing, and even made a new friend. She'd run up to me every couple of minutes and would wave or give me a hug. I kept thinking I should leave, but every time I thought about it, I'd start to tear up, and I couldn't call her over to say goodbye. So then the bell rang, and I walked her to her classroom.

She was so excited to have a locker. She wanted her locker buddy to be her friend, but I'm pretty sure her locker buddy is in the afternoon class.

She was so excited to be in the giraffe class. Giraffes are her favorite, and she just happened to be put in that class!

 

After seeing her to her room, safe and sound, I finally gave her one last hug and kiss and entrusted her to the Lord, and left. I'm so excited to hear how her first day went! One more hour!!!!
