Grace's First Day of K

Well, after years and months and weeks and days of waiting and counting down, Grace started Kindergarten today.....she woke up at 6 and was super-excited that the first day of school had arrived. Here's a few pictures of her morning -

Grace had a new t-shirt, skirt, socks, sneakers, and backpack.......
The side view of her backpack and a stance that would give me a torn ACL......

It was 6:30 and she was ready to go.....school didn't start until 8:15!
Alison wanted to get in some pictures too....she was a little sad that Grace wasn't staying at daycare, but the sitter said she did just fine all day!
Grace and Mommy posing for the first day.......
The long view of the Grace and Mommy......
The Three Amigas........
Me and the girls.......
A close-up of Grace and one proud Dad......
Grace took this picture of Alison and Kiki.......

This how we "left her".....working on an art project.....

Grace called me at the end of the day and said she had a great day.....she got TWO recesses, made a new "best friend forever" named Nola, spilled some syrup on her skirt (she cried and the principal helped her clean up mess), fell asleep at "rest time" (can't call it nap time), and can't wait to go back tomorrow

What a momentus day!!! Grace could not have been any more excited for her big leap into kindergarten. Seems like she's been wanting this forever.
