Kindergarten!



Kaedance had her 1st day of Kindergarten today! She loved it and had a blast. Here is a little bit about her first day of school along with some pictures from today and a few from last weeks meet-n-greet.

I woke her up and she was excited that the day had come to start school. She enjoyed her breakfast, played with Landon (she was great with him all day) and helped to get herself ready without much complaints :) and off we went. At school she was still excited and ready to go in. She saw some friends from church and some are in her class. I was able to snap a few pictures in the morning glaring sun and a cute one with her teacher. The class lined up and in they went. She never cried and was ready for me to leave. "See you later, Mom". When I drove away, I got a little teary eyed thinking of my baby being in "Big Kid School" all by herself.

During the day, I kept my phone close just in case. The end of class seemed to come quick. When I picked her up, she was so jazzed to tell me about her day, her class, teacher, and new friends. She made an adorable hand print with a sweet poem for Daddy and me to remember her first day. She received a 'green' behavior card (if she earns 10 she gets a prize) and that made her excited. She was asked what was her favorite part and she responded recess and story time. We went to lunch with her BFF, Rylee, and later to dinner and frozen yogurt to celebrate her big day. She asked if she gets to go again tomorrow. I told her yes...and that made her day!

What a great day and I was so proud of her and how well she did. She seemed to grow leaps and bounds just over night. Hopefully, her excitement for school lasts the entire year. When she goes all day next year, that's when I'm sure I'll cry. Great Job, Kaedance!! Dad and Mom are so proud of you!

I am so glad she loved it. I will probably cry when my baby goes. She is way cute.

I'm so happy she was so excited to go and was OK with you leaving. Cause can you imagine how hard it would be to have her crying cause she didn't want to go. I would just say OK...you don't have to go! Just kidding..but it would be so hard!
