1st day





Wednesday was Savannah's 1st day of Kindergarten. She was so excited even though I told her I was going to cry. She had a great day and yes I did cry.





A week before I took her shopping for a new shirt that she could pick out all by herself for the first day, then we had a few Family Nights on safety and what to expect at school, and then the night before Jason gave her a Father's blessing (which was very nice and comforting. Even the next day after we dropped her off Madi said "I can't wait to go to school and have dad put his hands on my head.") and to end summer we went for ice cream.




When I asked her what her favorite part was she said "everything, except recess because it was too hot." Jason said that won't last long it will soon become her favorite subject. But her "best thing" was her "locker because it is like High School Musical." (Monday before school I took her to see her class and meet her teacher and the first thing she noticed was her locker and the first thing she told Madi about when she got home. She also thought it was really cool that the school had a library in it.)







It is kind of hard getting used to her being gone all day and I can't believe she is old enough to go to school but she LOVES it and she LOVES to learn.

Wow she really is looking grown up all of the sudden! I love that first picture of her, she looks so cute. Tell her I think it is pretty cool she has a locker too. I can't believe they already have lockers in Kindergarten.

I know it's hard when your fist goes to school. The first picture of Savannah does not even look like her. Those are big lockers. Riley's are half that size. I love how she associates the lockers with high school musical.
