First Day of First

Yes, those are gold, glitter high tops. They match her gold, glitter tablet (Pot. Meet Kettle.)

We bought the first pair she picked out.

As you can see, I got the year right this year on our chalkboard! So we're off to a great start.

Too cool to walk in with her mom.....

They had big yard signs K-8 on the lawn.....

I can't believe I have a 1st grader!

I dropped her off at her classroom, asked her teacher where the heck I was suppose to pick her up and hit the road! And then it all came rushing back to me how quickly a school day goes by. I got nothing accomplished!

I picked her up and I wasn't sure if she saw me in the parking lot so I got out to walk up and get her and when we got in the car she said "mommy, next time I think I just need you to stay in the car. I got this, I'm a 1st grader now". Then she said "you only have to do this 180 times".

1st grade is exhausting!!! I got very little out of her. Until it was bedtime and she said "hop in next to me and I"ll tell you all about 1st grade". I had been asking for 6 hours! #stalltactics #iamsoontoher #butyouknowididit

One day of 1st grade down and she told me she's ready for 2nd grade!!

To My First Grader,

Well here we are, first grade!! No snacks, your own desk, new classmates, a new teacher! It's all so exciting Delaney. And.......a new school play! Of course you want the lead role (Peter Pan). One of my favorite books I read this year (Small Great Things) said "you don't have to do some great big thing in life, just do small, great things"! Be Kind, use your manners (remember, they're free) and be a friend to all! And, remember who you are and whose you are!!!

I can't wait to see what the school year brings Delaney.

Love, mom
