And she’s off. I successfully took her to the 1st grade hall and we found her room. SO much different than Kindergarten where she had already met her teacher and had a few half days of practice. She was a bit hestitant before entering the room, but did just fine. We sorted her supplies, found her desk and she was good. Bitter sweet memories ran through my mind as I walked out the door. Checked on some of her friends in other classes. Took a deep breath and kept going. I guess no matter their age. No matter how crazy they drive you. They are still your babies. Still your responsibility. And I will always feel a little strange leaving her behind.
I am so glad that I am not alone. We have sweet memories from last year and will continue to build on them this year! So glad the girls are experiencing this together!
Yeah Alyssa!!
I knew you would miss her!! I can’t seem to stop all these “babies” of mine from growing up! I know she will have a wonderful year!
1st Grade was the BEST!! Oh wait, was it 2nd or 3rd grade? I can’t remember. Well, they were the BEST!! It’s when you have to start learning more complicated stuff that it isn’t much fun anymore. I think I knew everything until 4th grade. Then it was all down hill.
Oh, she’s beautiful! Looks like it was a great day! I felt my heart drop as you talk about them being your responsibility and your babies. I feel that even when I take mine to pre-school! She will always be your baby~ I’m glad that it went well. Are you going to let her take the bus from now on? I LOVE her glasses!!
Wow, how much she’s changed; just a little lady! I can’t believe the girls are off to first grade! Abbey started this last week too and it came way to fast! Loved catching up and seeing all your beautiful pictures!
That is a great picture of you and Alyssa… one to treasure for a long time! I can’t believe she’s in first grade already…
She looks so cute!!! We miss you guys-we’ve got to get together!!
