Today was the big day...the one that seems forever away is now here. Katie was up at 7am and dressed and ready to go to Kindergarten by 7:15am. I think I broke her heart a little when I told her we had over an hour before we had to leave for school. She helped Bree get ready for school and we talked about how this was a big day for Bree as well. She was a big girl going off to school without her big sis. She didn't seem to mind and only asked daddy a few times where Katie was at on the way to school. Here they are before Bree left. Bree told me i could only take their picture if they could sit down. Bree has her "homework" she is doing. She has been pretending to play school lots lately.
Oh, my big girl. I think she looks so much older with her haircut. She is so ready for this day. Mommy and daddy not so much.
Backback and lunch.........that is all she needs.
Giving mommy some attitude.......showing off her new school outfit.
Katie didn't want anymore pics taken before we left, but we talked her into just two more. One with Daddy and on with Mommy. It was very sweet, before we left Daddy said a prayer with Katie. Asking God to give her protection and to be with her in her new school.
We drove our 2 miles down the road to school.........on our way in to go to her class.
Katie leading us to her class. She walked in like she had been there hundred times. Walked straight back to her class. That is one little confident girl.
Outside of her class
Found her cubbie and put her lunch and backpack in. She was then off to say hi to her teacher and check out the room.
Katie with her teacher Mrs. Brown. I got to meet her on Tuesday and she seems like a wonderul lady. So excited to see the kids and you can tell she has a love for them instantly.
We gave her good-by hugs and kisses and then she was off playing.
They had a quick orientation and meet the principal after we dropped off Katie. I just can't believe my first born is now in school on her way to becoming anything she wants to be. I know I can't wait to pick her up and hear all about her day.
