We had a slow morning at home...We're usually out of the door by 7:30 but didn't have to leave to go to school until 8:30 and we still got there a little early. We took advantage of the extra time and took our obligatory "first day" pictures. Here's a few of the outtakes!
I didn't realize how much the chalkboard looked like prison numbers...Especially with this face! Looks like a mugshot! And she smeared the writing, but it gives the picture some flair, so I didn't fret over it.
And speaking of prison, you probably could get there by showing a little too much of this attitude to the wrong person!
It looks like someone just told her an unbelievable story and she's saying she believes it but doesn't really mean it.
And here, in all her southern-ness, is a Bless Your Little Heart!
Okay, enough pictures at home...We were off to school to take some more there! Trinity is in Blythewood and this is the first time she's gone anywhere other than our church for any type of childcare. We took just a few pictures outside and then headed on in.
Man, a backpack sure does make you look grown up!
She did pretty good getting dropped off. I probably stayed a little too long because by the time I was leaving, she had gotten used to me being in there and wanted me to stay. Her eyes started to fill with tears and then her chin trembled, but I quickly redirected her attention to Cole who was playing with dinosaurs. Then I headed on out and prayed for confidence for her and patience for her teachers (and no potty accidents). I picked her up at noon and she ran to me and gave me her signature hug (squeeze til it hurts)! I asked if she had a good time and she said YES! I took her to Wendy's for lunch and interviewed her about the rest of her day. Her favorite part was the playground. They sang songs but when I asked if she remembered the songs, she told me her teachers would remember the songs for her. She had goldfish for snacks and drank water out of a real cup (no sippy). As we were leaving Wendy's, I had to retie the belt on her dress. As I tied it, she said, "My teachers already tied it mommy." Then of course I worried that it came undone several times and I was already "that mom" who sent her child in an annoying outfit.
All in all, I think she had a great first day! She will go on Tuesday and Thursday and I think she's going to love it!

Hah - totally looks like a mug shot with that face! She looks all grown up with that backpack on =( We start school on Monday. I have those same fears, but the potty accident one has already been fulfilled. My child...who has been "potty trained" for 8 months...peed in the directors office last week when we dropped off her security forms!!! It was our first accident in forever! of course they'll never believe that. I was mortified! And it was our first time meeting any of those people - soo embarrassed. It's a really awful and funny story and gets so much worse from there. I'll have to tell you sometime when you are feeling down =)
Haha, love the "card" idea!! Might have to steal your idea when Maddie starts (w/o her BFF Katie) : (. Glad she had a great first day!
She does look so grown up with her backpack. I'm so glad she had a great first day!!
