First Day of Kindergarten!


Taylor had her first day of kindergarten on Thursday! She awoke early and with great excitement and then quickly realized that she couldn't immediately head outside to catch the bus (it was 6:50). She had a great day! Thanks to mine and Dave's mom for being with her on this special day (this is when it really is NOT fun to be a teacher)- they walked her to the bus, met her at the school and then got to stay for the first 35 minutes. They both said it was priceless and that she was a good listener, followed directions and even helped Ms. Ott clean up the markers. By the time she got home, everyone in the family had called her and talked to her about her day and so she was highly irritated that Dave and I were asking her about it! Needless to say we didn't get much out of her. She was quite excited though about a book order form that Ms. Ott had sent home so we sat down and looked at all the books and she chose a couple to order. My heart has really never felt so proud and so happy! Yea for Taylor!
I loved this picture! Look at Taylor in the far right...criss cross apple sauce and hands folded in her lap! A teacher's dream :)
