First Day of Kindergarten



Here she is, glasses and backpack on and ready to go. Tea has afternoon kindergarten, which doesn't start until 12:30, but she was ready to go by about 10 this morning. I'm glad she is so excited. I told her that I was going to cry and she told me that I couldn't.


Dad had to sleep, since he has to work tonight, but Tata (my mom) went with us and snapped this pic for us. What a gang. Tea has 15 or 16 kids in her class, they weren't sitting very still, so I had a hard time counting.



Miss Davidson had this sign up by the door, welcoming us.



Here she is on her way to sit on the rug to hear the first day of school story. The Kissing Hand by Audrey Penn. My sister had warned me about it, but I managed to hold it together. Just a little teary eyed as we walked out. Tea could not have cared less. Some kids had tears and some moms had tears. There is a little boy in Tea's class that went to preschool with her, so she automatically has one friend.

She is outgoing, so I'm sure she will be the belle of the ball by the end of the week.

Oh Sweet Tea! I agree she will be the Belle of the Ball!

Hurray for Kindergarten. :)

And how did day TWO go? LOL my kids' first day back was the 3rd (yesterday). Even after all these years, each year's first day back is full of nostalgia and some longing.

Day two actually went well, also. Every morning she has been asking me if it is time to go to school, at 9 am. She doesn't start until 12:30!
