1st day

Well. she did it! She's officially at kindergarten, and thrilled to death about it. She got dressed, did her hair, and got her back pack on at ...oh...say 9:30 in the morning. She waited by the front door for most of the morning, asking "how much longer???" (school starts at 12:30).


She received some phone calls from Nana Dinkel, who called to wish her luck on her first day. She practiced homework, looked a weeeeeee bit scared (in my opinion), and then endured some "kindergardener on the front porch" shots, even though it was raining heavily. :)



Then, when we walked in the school we saw a familiar face. A little girl named Gabbie Fink was waiting in the lobby and she's a little girl we've run into at just about every story hour, open gym, etc. we've gone too since we've moved here. Kenzie likes her because everyone is always calling her Gabriella, etc. and Gabbie is always correcting them with "No, my name is Gabbie" - just like Kenzie is always telling everyone her name "is. not. Mackenzie." AND, their last names are both "funny." Turns out their backpack hooks and school supply lockers are right next to each other, and they'll be sitting at the same table... so they are fast friends already.


Kenzie wasn't paying any attention to her mama and daddy at all when we left her. There were kids crying and parents crying...and she was oblivious to it ALL. I think she was more than ready to begin this new chapter in her life...


Happy First Day of Kindergarten baby girl!
