Today I am a FIRST GRADER!!! I am so excited to start school and see all my best buddies. I didn't even make a stink about my uniform or my shoes or any of the normal gripes. This morning I woke up without Mama having to wake me, I got dressed, brushed my teeth and was ready to go! We met at the basketball courts to meet our teachers, Mine is Mrs. Birk, hear a quick prayer for a good year from Monsignor Smith and some words from our principal, Mrs. Wood. Then it was off to our classrooms. It was going to be a great first day, especially because it was a half day!

                 

                 

                 

                 



                 





                  



                 

                

                 



Mama, Finn and Jax picked me up from school today. It was so great! We got to each have our very own desks. We got to put all of our very own school supplies in our very own desks and we even have a smart board in our classroom!! And Mrs. Birk told us that we get to eat in the cafeteria with the big kids now. I wonder if I'll get to see my neighbor Michael!? He's a really big kid!! I'm so excited, I can't wait to come back tomorrow!

                  



                  

After nap time Jax decided to try on his new shoes. He loved him. And Mama thinks that maybe he has a new look going for himself. I think winter time might be a little rough for him though...

                

                  

Finn got to help Mama make dinner tonight. He even picked what we were having. Pasta! Somehow it always tastes better when you get to help make it. And we all loved it. After dinner we went on a nice, long, family walk. It was lots of fun and we got to hear all about Kai's first day of school. Then we came home, showered up, got to watch and quick show and then Daddy read Kai and Finn books while Mama read me books and night night me. It was a good day!
