First Day of KINDERGARTEN!!

It's official! I have a child in school! Shyler had her very first day of Kindergarten! This morning she woke up happy, took a shower, I made pancakes and helped her get dressed and do her hair. I decided to take her myself on her very first day, and just be late for work. Totally worth it! :) She picked the outfit that she and Grandma Alice had gone shopping for and purchased last week. It was SO cute on her! She was so excited, that while I was getting ready, she came in and said, "Mom! How much longer until we get to go!!?"...oh how I wish that attitude of wanting to go to school would last her whole lifetime, however I am not that naive. :)

So we headed to the school, and Easton and I walked her in, but not without snapping a few pictures by the car, and by the school. We found her name at one of the tables, and she put her backpack on her chair...and then the nerves hit, and she was very uncomfortable, and I thought, oh no, she's going to freak out and start crying...but nope, I just talked with her, and I introduced her to the kids on either side of her...the boy on her right, is a cute little kid named, Mo. how cute is that!? haha. And the teeny tiny girl on the left is Laicie. So I tried to get them talking, and she slowly became more comfortable and once she pretty much started ignoring me, I knew that was my cue...so off Easton and I went. We got outside the school...and emotions hit. NO. I did NOT cry...however, I felt the rumblings of emotion, but I harnessed them and was a strong mother. No tears today. :) I survived. :)

(After school she said her favorite part was recess...of course)
