1st Day of School

We took pictures before heading out the door on the first day of school. Audrey wanted her picture taken too. It was funny because she didn't want us to leave, but once she got her picture taken, she was fine.

After a few busy days of meetings and getting ready, the first day of school was here. It was tough for both Kimee and me in different ways.

For me it was crazy busy. Not a minute to spare, just going, going, going. Being at a new school, I did not know exactly what to expect from the kids, the routines like recess, lunch, etc. It was crazy. The second day was definitely better. But I have decided that I probably should change back up to 2nd or 3rd grade when I have a chance. The beginning of the year is really hard with these young ones.

Kimee had a hard time and cried several times throughout the day because she wanted her mommy. So sad. It doesn't help that she woke up too early that morning, so she was going on not enough sleep. She has a great teacher and is starting to make some new friends. It is hard being at a new school and also going from being home all summer to a full day at school. Kimee had a much better day on the 2nd day.

Hopefully things will keep improving for both of us. And it is so nice to get one on one time together before and after school. We love going to the same school!
