MaryEllen started school yesterday and had an awesome first day. She was super excited and so were we.
Henry was excited, too, until he realized that he wouldn't be going with her! He recently discovered a little Elmo backpack we had at the house and apparently he thought the only requirement to go to kindergarten was wearing a backpack. Poor kid.
I cried like a baby as we were walking away, but at least I held it together while we were in the classroom. I look at Emmett now and think it feels like it was just yesterday that MaryEllen was his size. Now she is practically on her own! (for 3 hours and 20 minutes a day, at least.) I HAVE A KINDERGARTNER!!! I guess it's time for that quarter- life crisis I've been planning.
Mac n' cheese and grapes, her favorite lunch to fuel her day!
So excited!!!
Friends already! MaryEllen's friends MacKenzie (from preschool) and Haley (from soccer) are in her class. And of course, there's Henry, still totally unaware that he isn't one of them.
All ready to learn! (check out all those electrical chords! I just noticed them, but MaryEllen did say when I asked her what she learned, "NO touching the chords!" Now I know why!)
My favorite quote after picking her up, "I love kindergarten! I bet Daddy loved it, too." What am I, chopped liver?

I totally caught the nemo quote... that's always where I start that movie b/c the first scenes is "scary" according to Justin.
So glad Mary Ellen is loving school!
Whao! Thats a big milestone!
I took a look at your website.. LOVE it!
It is crazy when your 1st one goes to school. I'm glad you are all doing well with it!!! Makes it so much easier when they don't freak out. :)
