First official day with her friend Anna
Well, Lilly’s much anticipated first day of Kindergarten is in progress. She picked out her clothes (remind me to do this every evening) and got her backpack all ready last night. After a good night’s sleep she was up and ready to go, and I’m happy to report that she was very excited :). Her smile was contagious all morning long and Bill and I were fine until we walked out the front door and started taking ‘first day of school’ photos. We shed a few tears on our family walk up the hill to Mesa Elementary, but were nothing but smiles on the way down. Drop off was easy, Lilly was a bit nervous but mostly just excited. The Kindergarten staggered start and events leading up to the first day has made this day much easier on all of us, and for that I am very thankful. We have been so impressed with the school, parents, kids, and staff and know this is the right place to send our girls. Hooray!!
Update: When I was prying L for information and she was too excited and distracted by all of her classmates to talk to me I said, “So was it good??” and she replied, “No, it wasn’t good. It was GREAT!” with a big smile on her face. We spent the entire walk home talking through her day and discussing her new friends. The only drawback was she did not eat a single thing at lunch (surprise, surprise), but with a little effort at home and some more time in school I know she will learn. 🙂
