First Day of School!

Today was Bailey's first day of school!

I was a little worried about her as her "meet the teacher" was a complete disaster.

She had a "terrible stomach ache" that magically disappeared as soon as we got in the car to go home. She did nothing other than moan and whimper that her stomach hurt while hunched over the entire time we were there.

But today, a complete success!

I am so proud of her!

Just arriving at school

We had to wait a little while for her teacher

Mrs. Elsworth to open the classroom.

Morgan thought she was so big with her backpack like Bailey (thanks Grammi).

At this point she had already put her backpack on her hook and her lunch box on the shelf and was just sitting down to color at her desk. As soon as I was done taking this picture she looked at me and said "bye Mom" like you can go now. I knew at that point I needed to leave as she wanted me to go. So not what I expected! But I am glad! I almost cried but held it in.

After dropping Bailey off Morgan and I went to Target to get Bailey a "first day of school surprise."

Morgie was so excited to give it to her but she fell asleep on the 6 min drive to the school.

On the way home I asked Bailes how school went these were some of her responses,

• It was the best day EVER!
• I said I missed her and she responded "I didn't miss you at all!"
• Mom- did you make any new friends? Bailey-just one. Mom- what's her name? Bailey-Mom it's a boy! Mom- What's his name? Bailey- I don't remember.
• Recess was my most favorite part of school.
• I couldn't open my granola bar at snack time so I have to eat it at home.
• My new friend (the boy) opened my drink for me at lunch.
• Mom- Did anyone tell you how cute you looked today in your new clothes? Bailey- that boy told me I was pretty 3 times! And he said he liked my glasses, I told him he was handsome. He also said he is going to draw me a picture tomorrow and I will draw him one.
• My teacher is soo pretty!
• I sat on the orange square at circle time.
• I watched the Magic School Bus movie today.
• I only had to go potty 1 time today.
• I was so excited to see your green car when you picked me up.
• I LOVE SCHOOL!

It was such a long day! Morgan passed out!

She is almost standing while sleeping.

"Mom I have so much stuff to show you in my back pack"

First day of school picture.

"I was the first one done"

They have a calender that at the end of each day the teacher marks how each kid did. Bailey got a smiley face. We would expect no less!

When we got home Bailes was exhausted! She put in a movie and zoned out. Morgan soon joined her and shared tootsie pops. Life is good!

Bailey requested Spaghetti for her special "first day of school dinner"

As she went to bed tonight she said she didn't want to be at home she wanted to be at school!

As for me I am glad she is home and that the "first day of school________" is over. I am very tired!

Good Job Bailes we are so proud of you!
