How did I forgot to post the first day of school? Kind of funny to be posting this since this week is the last week of school, but I love these pictures so much that I had to get them up here. Seeing these pictures makes it seem like the year has flown by, but really it was kind of a long year since I've been pregnant for pretty much all of it!
Sadie lost her tooth the night before the first day of school, so she got a visit from the tooth fairy! What a way to start the school year!
On special occasions (mostly birthdays) we like to do waffles, whip cream and strawberries, so the first day of school qualified for one yummy breakfast.
These pictures melt my heart! There was some major back-to-school excitement was in the air and all of the girls were so happy this morning! I am not one of those mothers that cry when their kids go back to school. I am so excited for them to have new experiences and be able to come home and share their day with me. These girls thrive on having new experiences, and I love how outgoing they each are and that they love being independent.
Sadie started 1st grade with Mrs. Cherry.
Emmy started preschool with Mrs. Taggart. We really lucked out on teachers this year. It's so nice to know that my girls were with such kind and loving people while they were gone. I feel like I have learned so much from interacting from their teachers this year too!
We drove Sadie to school and you are suppose to just let your kid go into the school by themselves, but I had to sneak in and see Sadie in her new classroom.
Here is me being sneaky. I remember having to help a few kids find the right classrooms too that were coming in late, so it's a good thing I was there! (wink, wink)
Emmy started up preschool and I am sure she wished it was more than just two days a week. She got snacks, crafts, playtime. All of the things that she loves!
Every morning she'd go in and practice writing her first name. She already knew how to, but her handwriting improved quite a bit over the year.
Emmy decorated an apple at home to bring to school and put on the class tree.
Emmy with Jane, Reagan & Ashlyn... her little posse. She made quite a few new friends this year like Conner, and another Ashlinn.
Back to School Night for Sadie
It can always be a little nerve wracking to be meeting your teacher for the first time and going to a new classroom, but Mrs. Cherry is so personable and friendly that it was a nice smooth transition into first grade for Sadie. Lucky girl gets to have the same teacher for 2nd grade as well!
Sadie and her buddy Oakley.
Cute random school moment...Emmy and Bree walking home from preschool with their matching pants.
