Madilyn's First Day of First Grade




The day started off with some nerves (encouraging the silly face picture was the only way I got any cooperation in picture taking this morning), but by the time we arrived at school Madilyn was excited and ready to go. Andy met her for lunch. After going through the lunch line to get pizza, she told him with confidence, "I can do this by myself"...which we knew...but she needed to learn and feel confident about.

Andy picked her up at dimissal and took her and Jack toy shopping. She was tired after her first full day of school, but toy shopping has a way of waking up a 5 yr old! She had a great day and her teacher said very nice things about her at pick-up time. We're so glad she is having such a positive start again this year.
