My baby is in Kindergarten!

Today was Leah's 1st day of school. Yesterday we had a little orientation. She had to wear her uniform (which brings back memories for me!) and visit her classroom. She was SO excited to wear her uniform. I let her bask in the thrill of the new duds. Told her to come talk to me in 8 years when she's still wearing the same style. She met her teacher and saw her room. We were in and out of there in 15 minutes. Here are some photos from yesterday.



The backpack is bigger than her! The little girl standing in front of her in the line this morning had the same bag. I'm assuming about 50% of the girls in her class will as well.

Sitting at her desk!

Today was the BIG day. I was allowed to park and bring her to the school yard to her teacher today. Starting tomorrow I have to get in the "drop off" line and I'm not allowed out of the car. Oh I remember the Catholic school rules. They're all coming back to me. She was excited and a little nervous. I have to admit I had a tear (or two) in my eyes when I left her standing in the line with all the other little ones. They all looked so lost. Afraid to move. Standing on the yellow line and not moving an inch off of it. Give them a few weeks!


I have a few hours before I pick her up. Daniel and I have some Mommy/Son time now. He starts Pre-K next week!

Congrats on your big day, Leah! Hope everything went well at CHOP! If it's not one thing, it's another, right?! Jen, you SO need to start your Tai Chi to balance things out! :-)

Hi Jen! I sent my baby off to kindergarten too, I stood at the corner of the bus stop and cried like a baby! I guess you Heather and I all deserve a metal of some sort for sending our babies off to Kindergarten..... Heather for sending her youngest baby and for us for sending our oldest babies!! By the way, Jordan has a the same Hanna Montana lunch bag....of course!! You kids are growing like weeds!! Hope to see you soon!!

Our baby!
