First Day of School...

Today is Kylie’s first day of 1st grade. Seriously? Didn’t I just register her for Kindergarten? Or better than that, I feel like I just brought her home from the hospital!

She’s adorable and super grown-up. We went shoe shopping last night, and after about 10 stores, we finally found 2 pairs of shoes for her (she’s SUPER picky about her shoes)…and you know what? They gave her blisters on the walk over to school and Jen had to take her tennis shoes over for her to change into. But I digress…

She went to bed fairly early last night after a long day of playing at the park and then gymnastics and no nap. John and I both went into work late today so that we could take her to school this morning. All the kids came into our bathroom as we were finishing getting ready. Kylie showered and I did her hair and I just couldn’t believe how grown-up she looked!

She eats lunch at 10:45 AM, and with school starting at 9:05, there’s no point in her eating breakfast (she hates breakfast anyway). So we packed her a huge lunch, and then took a ton of pictures!

Jen got there (Ryan had gone back to bed for a while, so she stayed back when him while we took Kylie), and then our neighbors behind us came over…Tony was starting Kindergarten today! So we all walked over to the school together. It was so nice to see even more walkers this year (with the school in our neighborhood there are tons of kids that walk). We took Kylie all the way into her classroom and got her settled. I LOVE her teacher! She was so nice to everyone (and even gave us a bunch of band-aids in hope of fixing Kylie’s shoe problem) and we found out she actually lives in our neighborhood. I kissed Kylie good-bye and we headed out. That’s when the tears started for Joshie. The whole walk home he just kept saying “sissy…I miss my sissy. I love you sissy.” It was cute and endearing at first, but as we got closer to home it was just annoying! We pointed out that Jen can now spend all day playing with him, and Tony only goes a couple of days a week, so he will be home some days, and Ryan is still there!

I can’t wait to get home today and find out how Kylie’s first day was. I can’t wait to hear about her new friends, and what she learned today and how gym was. I just can’t believe she’s so big…

Wow, she really does look more grown up! I bet it was an exciting day for her. I hope everything went well.

I can't believe they have lunch so EARLY!
