It was a big day in our house today. Abby started Kindergarten. She did great this morning. I could tell she was excited as she was getting ready -- she took a shower, ate her breakfast and put on her uniform. I think she started to get nervous about all the attention and to-do, though, because from picture taking on, she was very quiet. (This is not normal!)School started at 8:00 with an assembly with the whole school and then it was off to Mrs. Schneider's class. She invited all of us parents in, too, and we got to see her interact with the kids for a while and then she spent some time talking us through the school's mission, her methods, and what she expects, etc. Then it was almost time for us to go, and we all sat down together for story time. I've really been fine with the whole Kindergarten thing. I'm not sad or emotional about it, but then she had to go and choose the story The Kissing Hand. I have to admit, it made me tear up a bit. It was a great morning and I could tell as we were getting ready to leave that Abby was getting more comfortable. I'm wondering how long it took for the real Abby to come out and if Mrs. Schneider is ready for that. :)
Great pics Bre! So glad that she had a good day. She looks darling in her uniform.:)
ReplyDeleteOhhhhhh, Abby . . .in her little school uniform!!! It makes my heart all mushy. She is so darn precious I can hardly stand it! I know her star is going to shine so bright. She has such a sweet, kind personality.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing her first day of school with us! I thought about her all day! I tried to call Aaron, but he didn't pick up. Then by the time I got home, I figured she might be in bed.
Love you!
