Kindergarten!

It finally arrived!  Kindergarten.  The last three weeks of summer were packed with conversations and expectations about kindergarten.  Adeline was a little nervous but equally excited.  

Wake County has something called "staggered entry".  All kindergarteners are divided into four groups, each has a day that they go to school to be "assessed". So, in the first week of school Adeline only went one day.  Silly, I know.  On the fifth day they go back and find out who their teacher will be for the year. 

 She was nervous on her assigned day but once she made it past the front door she was all business. 

We were excited for her to have buddy checking in right in front of us.

And once she was in her classroom she was greeted by our next door neighbor's grandmother.  It was a perfect situation!

Reunited and it feels so gooooooooood!  This was Lillian's hug at pick-up.  She was thrilled to have her sissy back.

And then there was the second First Day of School.  This was the day that Adeline went to her real first day with her new teacher and Lillian went to her first day of 3 year old preschool.

Adeline RUNNING to her classroom.

Adeline and her teacher Mrs. Boswell.  Wish I had gotten a picture with her eyes open.  If only you could see the chaos that was going on behind me as I am taking this picture.  I had to hurry up and get the shot.

Done.  Here they are after the long first day.  They were happy, hungry, and wiped.  I am so thankful for a great start to the school year!
