1st Day of School!

Here is the big kindergartner on her first day of school. This is a day Carlie has looked forward to for a long time and I have dreaded for a long time. It was hard letting my little girl get on the bus that first day and see her ride off to school. It's a good thing she LOVES school and has a great teacher to make it easier to see her go everyday. She is learning lots and her reading improves each day. She is now helping me read the Magic Treehouse books.



Davis has also started preschool one day each week and loves going to all of his new friends' houses. We have set up the same neighborhood preschool we did with Carlie. So now Davis has 4 little boys he can play with while Carlie is gone to school. He wouldn't let me take his picture on his first day of school so this one with Carlie will have to do.

Carlie getting on the bus for the first time. She was a little hesitant to get on the first time.


Here is Carlie in front of her classroom. Her teacher set up a treasure hunt for her class a few days before school started to get the children familiar with their new school and new classroom. The treasure hunt ended with each child making a school bus with graham crackers, Oreos and Chex cereal. It made Carlie excited for the first day of school.

It's been fun to read your updates! Carlie is such a doll. I bet that she'll be the star of her kindergarten class. That is awesome that she's already reading Magic Treehouse books by herself!

I think that it would be hard to send your child off on the bus - but sometimes, on cold or stormy days, I wish that we had a bus to pick Darren up so that I wouldn't have to drag all the kids out and wait outside the school with him every morning!
