First Day of Kindergarten!

All the talk, all the playing up, the day FINALLY came and she was AMAZING!!!

We kept a low profile over the weekend to make sure she didn't wear herself out before school started. When it came time to pack her lunch she was eager to get it all put together.

While getting myself ready, I overheard her wake up and say to herself, "Today is my first day of school!"  Brought a smile to my face.

Our more creative neighbor chalked her driveway for her daughter Allie and shared her "sign" with us.

 Luckily the walk to the bus stop is not that far.  For the first day of school there is SO many school supplies and other items, her bag overflowed.  Riding the school bus to school was something Madison was looking forward to and couldn't wait!

First one on the bus!

 Once she was safe and sound on the bus, Jeff and I made our way to the school to meet her there and walk her to her classroom.  Something that we could only do on the first day and we wanted to be there for her!

Getting off the bus at school

It amazed us how organized they were getting the kindergartners off the bus and to their classrooms. Ms. Jones, Madison's new teacher, met them with smiles and words of encouragement.  

One last picture before letting her starting her day...

And then the waiting began.  Jeff and I took the day off so that we could both be there for her when she got off the bus.  

From the look on that face, I think she had a wonderful day at school!

And she couldn't wait to show us what she learned in GYM CLASS...hula-hooping!!!!

 

 With the first day of school behind us,
the second day is to see how mom and dad adjust to THEIR new schedules!!!

Madison, Mommy and Daddy are SO VERY proud of you.  You did so good today!

We love you so VERY MUCH!
