Last First Day

September 6, 2012 by Elaine

We missed “meeting” her teacher, even though she is the SIL of someone that works with Tim and we already know her.  I did not go to orientation for the school because one or two of my kids have been going there since we moved here.

So, she and I waltzed into her new schoolroom for the year and hugged her teacher and even though she clung to my leg for a bit (all new friends this year!) she was fine when I left and smiling big when I returned.

She’s a pro.  Already.

The headband did not last (I knew it wouldn’t) I was just excited that she agreed to wear it in the first place and break her “I don’t want anyphing in my hair, Mommy!” streak. 🙂

She took a GOOD nap yesterday after lunch, she was zonked, in a good way of course.

So… all the kids have now had their first day and the school year is in full swing.

Now if I could just get the Kindergarten-er to quit fussing about how hot P.E. is we’d be golden. (C’mon Fall weather!!)

    I just love her jeggings and shoes, so cute! Glad her first day went well and sending some fall weather your way. It’s turned cooler here and it’s sooooo nice.

    It is so, so hot. Cady comes home whining about it ever day too. Especially on the day that she goes straight from school to daycare to dance in pretty quick succession. She never really gets a chance to cool off.

    Oh she is adorable and I’m with you on the hair stuff. I’m lucky to ever get a barrette in McKenna’s hair.

    So cute. Your school starts when it does around here. We are the only district starting after Labor Day this year. Congrats to her and your pics are darling.

    Awwww. So sweet. 🙂
    Grace did great the first few days but this week the tears are starting. Hopefully bribery will work on her like it did for her brothers. 😉
