FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL 2015

Our first day of first grade is in the books.  When I woke Lily up, it was clear that sleeping in had been the norm for her and today was a bit of a rude awakening.  She did recover from the rocky start and got all ready for school.  This year, the school district opened up the uniform policy to include polo shirts of any color, and Lily chose purple for her first day.

This was actually her second round of pictures, because the first one was taken with her skirt backwards.  After remedying that, we headed to school where I walked her inside.  She immediately asked to play Lincoln Logs with the other kids and made herself at home.





Being the shameless suck up that I am, I brought cookies for the teacher.  I can't imagine how difficult teaching is, and I want to do whatever I can to bring a little fun to the big day.  As I left the room, I did tear up a bit, but nothing like last year when I went to the "Boo-hoo Breakfast" and actually boo-hooed.



Lily says that she had a great day.  She doesn't spill details easily, so I have to pry gently and step back when she is clearly tired of interrogation.  I let the kiddos have some screen time after school to detox a bit from all the stimulus.

We went out to dinner at Cracker Barrel to celebrate a great first day.



Here's hoping and praying for a great year!
