First and Third Day of School

Jena was so excited to start kindergarten. She has been talking about school ever since she graduated from Preschool... and the day finally came. Taylor also started Preschool this year and even though they are at the same school, Taylor started a few days earlier. She was not nervous at all and happily went into the class and started playing right away. Even when I said good bye, she smiled and said "bye, mom!" She seems so little and big at the same time :) Now, she keeps asking why she only goes a few days to school and Jena goes every day. Soon enough girl, soon enough.

I stayed with Jena for the first orientation day of school. My sweet friend saw me with Cody in a stroller and took him home so I could focus on Jena. They read a story, sang a song, talked about colors, learned some rules and played on the playground. Jena absolutely loved her first day, especially since she was able to play with some of her good friends and meet many new ones.

It's hard to believe Jena is in Kindergarten already and now we actually have a schedule to follow. These little kids are getting so big!

For the last few years I've been impressed by all my sister in law does for her kids' teachers. So, this year I decided to start the year off right by sending Jena's teacher this adorable little apple treat to tell her how excited we are to be in her class. Thank you Heather for all your inspiration and Cute as A Fox for this great idea!
