1st day of Kindergarten!

It was a big day around here. This little munchkin on the left had her very first day of Kindergarten. Here she is all decked out in her clothes and back pack from the GAP and her Keens. (and her baby sister who really wanted a back pack on too and to stand against the wall.) 
 Back pack and matching lunch box that are bigger than her.

 We both did so good with our emotions. Neither of us cried today (okay, I cried, but not until much later in the day). There she is all set at her desk (she's right in the middle). And check out how blonde she is in the front. Sorry- but that's super cute to be so blonde in front ;)
 Hendrix really wants to go to Kindergarten too. His little play group doesn't start until Wednesday, so I'm trying to keep things exciting for him around here until then. And what's more exciting than having your lunch served in muffin cups? Not much I tell you.
 And what's the first day of school without cookies and milk for an after school snack? Pumpkin cookies of course- my kid's favorite.
 She had a pretty good day. She couldn't talk fast enough about the treasure box her teacher has, and how much of her lunch she ate, and the silly boy at the bottom of the slide during recess, and doing jumping jacks during gym class, and reading a book all by herself during reflective time.
I'm sure proud of her. Today turned out so much different than I thought it would. I think this girl is going to thrive in Kindergarten. I can't wait to see what she can do.

I've been waiting ALL DAY to hear about it. Thanks for posting and not leaving me to wonder overnight! I'm so thrilled she had fun and talked your ear off about it. She couldn't be cuter. I still can't even believe she's old enough.
