First Day of Kindergarten Recap

Well today marked the first day of kindergarten for our baby girl!  It was an exciting and emotional day for us and Rylie, but it all turned out well!

Getting back from San Diego last night, bed times were a little later than we had planned, and our big kindergartner was not pleased about having to wake up.  Once we got to school, there was some chaos on the playground getting the kids lined up with their right class.  I could tell all the kids and disorganization made her uneasy.  After sorting out all the kids and getting them to their teacher, it was time for Rylie to go into her first day of school.  I did end up getting a smile and wave as they left the playground.  I was okay until she walked into school and I lost sight of her.



I could tell she was nervous

I felt lost all day without her home, I have all three of my babies home with me on Mondays and Wednesdays, and it wasn't the same without my girl home.  Even Liam was asking for his sister.  I wished I could call and check on her, my husband told me not to be the stocker mom!!!  I couldn't wait to pick her up and hear about her first day.

She had a big smile on her face when we picked her up.  When we asked her what she learned, she said, "I learned the rules, how to keep my card green(behavior chart), and to raise my hand if I need to go to the bathroom or talk."  It was cute that she actually had already memorized all five classroom rules and she kept reciting proper classroom manners.  She even tried teaching Liam her classroom manners to which he just laughed and continued being his hyper self!!!!  She put forth a good effort though.  The only part she said she didn't like about school was, "Mom all the other kids were so loud screaming out the answers, I had to cover my ears, I was the quietest kid, the other kids hurt my ears."

So overall the day went well, and our girl made it through her first day!  It's hard to believe we went from then:

We are so proud of our little lady!!!
