Kaylie goes to Kindergarten

Our little girl takes another step in growing up. She has been so ready for kindergarten for so long. She headed off to a full day kindergarten program of fun and learning. She was up at the crack of dawn and got ready for school like a pro. I am sure that will fade quickly but for now I'll take it. She seems to feel complete for the time being. She has always been one to want to learn more, do more, see more. I am personally excited about her teacher. Who is a seasoned pro and has produced amazing children of her own. I feel blessed to have my daughter learn at her feet.

A shot through the window. Mom and Dad's don't go passed the door.

She was a little nervous but too excited to miss out.

The proud little brother who won't be around to protect her from the boys at school.

When asked what she did today: "I helped two people who were crying because they missed their mom. I helped one girl two times."

When asked what her favorite part of the day was: "Lunch and recess! I got 3 recesses!"

I was intrigued with her answers. The question what did you do today didn't elicit the detailed description of some project or activity, which is common. She thought about who she could serve. I don't mean to brag. I just wanted to document memories I had of her first day of school. Her second answer was funny to me, because although she is beyond her years in so many ways... lunch and recess will always be the funnest part of school.
