First Day of School!

WOW! What a morning!

The first day of First Grade for Sydni got off to a rocky start because she didn't get the teacher she wanted, her favorite uniform pants were officially too small, and her hair was all wrong. But we made it there and ultimately she okay and happy to see her friends.

Davis' first day of school was equally exciting for the whole family! He was up early, dressed and ready to go, and asking "when are we leaving" for an hour. As we turned down the street the school is on Davis exclaimed "Oh my gosh, we are almost there!" He was very excited to be in Sydni's old Kindergarten room with her old teachers. He promptly found his hook for his backpack, put on his nametag, and did exactly what his teacher told him, got a book and sat on the carpet....he was gone, didn't even say goodbye to his mommy. (sniffle) As I sneaked in one last look before leaving the school he was standing with his class saying the Pledge of Allegiance, looking very grown up.

Probably the most unexpected reaction of this morning was from Andrew. As we were leaving the school he asked "where did Sydni and Davis go?", followed by "I wanna go back!", and then he began crying! I suppose this will be an adjustment for all of us!

Well, here are pictures of this morning...enjoy!

The bell has rung!
