This day has been long anticipated by all! I remember when Lily was born and when she was one I was dreading this day! I thought it was going to be so hard to send my little baby off to a foreign place where she was learning goodness knows what! And I thought I was going to miss her so much! But then it seems like when she turned 2 and was a know it all, and 3 and was still a know it all, I could not believe that kindergarten was still so far away! I remember thinking, still 2 more years??? Don't get me wrong, I still had some of those thoughts and feelings as I drove her to her first day, but I knew that there could be nothing better for Lily and myself at this time in her life! She needs school and she loves school!
There's Welby Elementary! The greatest school, in Lily's opinion!
So Lily's teacher gave Lily and myself a "Be Brave" bracelet so we would remember not to cry on her first day. Lily, of course, had been counting down the days til school started and was so excited! She didn't shed a tear and she never looked back as she walked away with her class following her teacher in a line. However, Ava and I, watching her walk away had a harder time being brave. I was doing okay, until I looked down at Ava, and her little lip was out and trembling. She was so sad! We both stood and cried. I can't believe my little Lily is so grown up!
Lily with the sad little Ava who feels like she's getting left behind! Not sure who this other little boy is! One of Lily's new classmates!
Lily and our next door neighbor, Kaydon, who is in her class!
I love my little kindergartener!!!
