Emma's First Day of Kinder

The day finally arrived. The one I was not too anxious for. Emma had her first day of kindergarten. She woke up early and was very excited for her special day. Everything about the morning made her happy, especially the idea that both mommy and daddy would be taking her to school. Emma did a great job going into the classroom and putting her things away. She loved having her own locker and table with her name on it. When it was time for us to leave is when she got clingy. She never cried but held onto us with extra hugs. She was brave and I tried my best to put my brave face on. There were a few tears but I quickly wiped them away because I wanted her to be happy. We are so very proud of Emma and the strong girl that she is.

She did a great job at school today. When she was done with school she needed her own time to recharge and refocus. She said she loved recess, trying to look at her teacher during rest time, watching her music teacher be silly, and learning her friend's names. After school, she played school and pretended to be her teacher while lining up toys and naming them after her classmates. She also mentioned that tomorrow is another big day. Hope it is nothing but a great year for her.
