First Day of Kindergarten!!

All ready to go at 7:09 this morning!

Waiting in the car pool line listening to the loud welcoming music at the school . . . can we say excited??

One last look back for mama to snap a picture, but this girl is full steam ahead for her first day of kindergarten!

Well today we did it! I survived dropping my first born off at the front of Providence Spring Elementary, Savannah LOVED her first day of kindergarten and Preston managed to make it through the day without his sissy! I have to admit that I was quite shocked at how dropping her off effected Preston. He whined most of the morning for "sissy, I pay (play) sissy." That was heard A LOT. Actually for the first time ever he didn't even want to go into his WEE school class for orientation because he missed her so much. Anyway, back to my big kindergartner . . . she had a fabulous day.

Savannah has talked non stop about reading brown bear, searching for the animals around the school, getting chocolate milk from the cafeteria line, knowing her numbers, and lots of other things. There were only 4 kids in her class today since PSE does a staggered entry system, but she thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it there. Our only disappointment is in finding out that she cant' go back until Wednesday!!!

I was so worked up over whether I had done enough to prepare her. I mean there are lots of things for a new kindergarten mama to worry about . . . did we write enough letters (obviously not since she tells me she got mixed up on the s and c today. Really? Your name starts with s, silly girl!), does she know what to do if someone is mean to her, will she be safe, is she really ready for the big bad world of public school?? I could go on, but today the Lord gave me a sense of peace. Peace in knowing we've done all we can do and peace in knowing it's time to let her soar and become the lady He has planned for her to be!

Time for our first official school night at Chick fil A, Savannah's restaurant of choice, to celebrate a special day today!!
