First day of school.

What a morning. Today was Mackenzie’s official “first day of school”. She is now going to a real public school and is a true Junior Kindergartener. My baby Boo is in school. It was an exciting morning. She woke up and the first thing she said was “I am so excited to go to school and meet my new friends”. Luckily we only had a few minor issues about what she was going to wear, and we were able to get a couple bites of waffle into her before she dragged us out the door.







We were able to meet her teacher 15 minutes before school started today. The other kids in her class had all met the teacher last week for their introductory meetings but since we were away we missed that. Her teacher, Mrs. “G” was great.





She showed Kenzie the classroom, her locker (can you believe Kenzie has her own locker….?!) and the bathroom.



After our initial meeting we went outside with the other kids and nervous parents. The kids were in the kindergarten “holding area”.

A fenced in area where the parents are supposed to drop them off.



The place was completely surrounded by parents taking pictures and videoing everything. I felt bad for the kids… But Kenzie did well. She seemed a bit nervous but didn’t cry and was very brave. (she just looked around wide-eyed and kept watcghing the teacher to hear what she was supposed to do). The teachers lined the kids up against the fence and gave them each name tags.



Then they all walked into school in a single file line.



Then CJ, Sebby and I walked home and cried.
