We had our usual prayer time in the car before we left and she thanked God for giving her the best teacher for her. It warmed my heart b/c I was thinking, praise Jesus b/c I am so glad too. (I did not want her to think I thought she could have been in the wrong place so I just agreed instead of acting like a nut.) She also asked that school not be too hard, we will see how much of that prayer is answered.
As we walked into the building, I kinda got teary-eyed. The smell of new pencils, giggling children and busyness overpowers the real truth in teaching on the first day. It is a hard job but someone has to do it, thankfully, it is not me. . . this year!
And my first grader is so thrilled to learn more, it makes it all worthwhile. While looking at the word wall, she said, "I only know 1/2 those words, I have a lot of work to do!"Not to mention, isn't her outfit adorable? Kudos to Auntie A & Auntie M for the precious dress & shoes. I bet it gets passed down a couple of times!

fabulous first day outfit! i can't believe how big she is.
Wow, I kinda am choked up too. She is growing up fast. I remember taking care of that little curly top baby... She is a very sweet nice girl.
OMgoodness... How cute is she!!! I LOVE the smell of school supplies.. call me crazy.. I enrolled Aiden in Mother's Day Out today.. I think I had two tears and a heart palpitation.. My BABY is going to "school"... Yes, I know I should get out more...
Love, love, love the hair and the cute outfit.. I think she may take after her mommy after all.. a little teacher in the making..
