First Day of Kindergarten

Camden woke up super early for her first day of school.  I think she was excited.  Can't believe the difference a year (or 4) makes.  What a big girl!

 

 *Oops...date on this should be 2009.  I'll correct when I have access to a different computer.  She was 1 and just had her cast off the week before.

 

She dressed herself and waited patiently for me to be able to do her hair.  It wasn't until she got home from school that we realized she had her shorts on backwards all day!

 

I like the crown braid I put in her hair.  It kept her hair from being in her face, but lots of her fine strands made their way out.  She plays so hard it is no wonder, but it was still better than all down in her face.

She desperately wants to ride the bus, but since we are literally 2 minutes from the building, we are dropping her off and picking her up.  The timing in the morning is perfect for me...and Kevin would need to get up at the same time whether she walked or rode. 

She waved her envelope of breakfast/lunch money as I took her picture.  She is not a morning person and doesn't like to eat breakfast early, so her decision to eat breakfast at school is a good one.  It's cheap and a great option for her.

She was so excited and ran in...I hollered at her, "what about my hug and kiss"...she did a quick about face and came running back, "Momma!".

After our goodbyes, she was off.  Her reports that evening were all positive and she seems to really love being back in school.

To celebrate, GaGa and Grandpa joined us that evening at Up the Creek for an ice cream treat.  Yes, that is a HUGE brownie sundae in front of her.  She did split it with her mom (my side has the whipped cream; hers has the gummy worms).

So happy and proud of our little Kindergartner!
