Kindergarten...

How is it possible that my baby is already in kindergarten? I remember when she was born, so tiny and so new. I remember thinking, "I wonder what she will be like when she goes to kindergarten?" Well, here we are, it happened way too fast! What is Grace like in kindergarten?
Favorite color: pink and purple
Favorite TV show: Full House (Can you believe that?)
Favorite Food: yogurt and pancakes
Favorite thing to do: have dance parties and play with friends
"When I grow up I want to be a teacher and a mommy."

Grace just loves going to Laurel Hill Primary with mommy, although she much rather ride the bus if she could. She has two teachers: Mrs. Cercopeley and Mrs. Atkinson - they are the sweetest, most energetic, loving ladies I know! Her friend Maddie from preschool is in her class, along with twin girls from our neighborhood that she swam with on the swim team. I am having to adjust to entertaining her after school while I am trying to get work done, but it is so great to be able to spend more time with her!

Meet the Teacher Night

(Mrs. Cercopeley)

Her teachers gave her the sweetest poem along with "magic confetti" that would help her sleep the night before the first day. She still has it under her pillow...

OK - These pictures were really taken the night  before the first day. I knew it would be hectic that morning (and dark at 6 a.m.), so I took some shots when she tried on her outfit the night before...

6:00 a.m.- First day of Kindergarten (not looking as awake as the night before).

Brooks was so sweet and insisted on taking her the first day (I think he knew how crazy my morning would be), I think he was more nervous than her. She had a great first day and loves her teachers!

Her amazing teachers made this sign and sent her picture home.

 Mrs. Atkinson e-mailed me this pic the other day: the twins, Grace and Maddie - Love it!

We celebrated the first week back to school on Friday night with a "sleep under" and dance party with the Alley girls. Grace stopped in the middle of dancing and said, "I wish my teachers were here, they really like to dance." So sweet!!!
