Well....she did it! Emily made it through the first day of first grade. And she did it with shining colors. I think this day was a little harder for mom than even going to Kindergarten. Since Maize still has 1/2 day Kindergarten, I was already used to being away from her 1/2 days, but this all day business is a little different. She was ready to go to the bus stop (at the end of our cul-de-sac) at 7:45 am but the bus wasn't scheduled to come until 8:10. Fortunately she had a few phone calls to keep her busy but we made our way down there by 8:00 am, after mom got the classic "first day of school photo":
We had fun taking pics while waiting for the bus....I think he's gonna miss her being gone!!!!
Chase had to take a picture......I'll miss her too!!!
As soon as Emily was on the bus, Chase and I headed up to Maize so we could watch her get off the bus and then walk her to her classroom. She was all smiles and had a great ride with her friends. She adapts so well and it makes me happy.
She's finally situated at her desk and ready for the day. See you this afternoon Emily!
Last night daddy told Emily that he wouldn't be home in the morning to see her get on the bus, so she said that was fine, he could watch her get off! SO....he took off early to make sure he was here. Little did we know...he wouldn't have had to take off. We thought she might arrive home between 4:15-4:30. She didn't get off the bus until 4:53pm. She was glad to see us both and had a great day. Her favorite part of the day was recess. She said it was good but couldn't remembered what they learned. She said they didn't have much time for lunch. I guess she'll learn that socializing needs to be done after her food, or she'll get hungry. The lessons of life in 1st grade.
