The countdown is over...
She put her backpack and shoes by the front door the night before...
We packed her lunch (also the night before)...
We set our alarms for 7am so we could leave the house at 7:40am...
but wait...
we woke up at 7:36am!!
Unbeknownst to me, I set the alarm for 7PM not 7AM! And because I'm such a crazy picture person my first thought was DARN, I won't be able to take any "first day of school" pictures!
I was a little worried that poor Maddie would be the very last kid rolling in at 8:30 on her first day of school. But it all actually worked out just fine. I didn't want Maddie to feel rushed and nervous her first day so I didn't even let on that we were late. We all got dressed, brushed teeth, grabbed a nutra-grain bar and were out the door by 7:50am!! (yeah, I was impressed too.)
Here's Maddie having a contemplative moment in the car...
It's a good thing she has such a fun brother, he made her laugh for the rest of the car ride...
We miraculously pulled up to the school at 7:59am!
(what a dusty car)
We were definitely not the last ones to arrive. We had a long line if front and behind us.
Headed into the building with owl, her Dad and Lyndon...
waiting in yet another line to enter the building starting to feel a little nervous...
and now feeling really nervous...
my little cutie pie...
waiting by her classroom...
Her teacher, Miss Kim, showing them where to hang their backpacks...
And that's it...we left her. It was just the 3 of us and we felt a little empty...
I'm happy to report that there were no tears. None from Maddie and none from me.
Just excitement.
