Lily's first day of Kindergarten!



One week ago today, my firstborn started Kindergarten!  She has been waiting for this day for what seems like forever!  We had the opportunity to attend her Back to School night and meet her teacher, Miss Gosnell.  It seems as though, with her personality, she will be a perfect match for Lily.  She is a born student and thrives at school.  We have no doubt she will make friends easily and work hard.  We are very excited for what this year has in store for Lily.

Since we are a week in already, I can share that she is struggling a bit with the longer days.  Her school is from 9:05am-3:45pm.  Although they have a "quiet time" after lunch in which some kids can take a nap, this is quite a stretch from her three half-days in Preschool.  She is adjusting, however, and we are doing what we can to help her through some crying episodes and irritable behavior.  Oh, the joy of school! :)

Enjoy some pictures of Back to School night and her first day of school!
