Twas the night before kindergarten, and nothing was quiet because Reese was really excited. She couldn't wait to start going to the same school as Callie. And we were very excited for her and found the perfect book for us to read in preparation for the big day.
What has become a back to school tradition for us is making signs and taking pictures before we head down to Cassidy. Auntie Lo will be extremely happy because this is the first year that Reese got a sign. We don't do pre-K signage around here and once we make a decision we stick to it.
It doesn't get cuter than this, which is why we staged the picture. On this day we drove the girls to school, but we needed to make sure we captured a moment like this for posterity. They had their new backpacks and were ready to make it happen.
Although Reese met Ms. Willis, her kindergarten teacher, the week before, she was super excited to see her again. We weren't sure how nervous Reese would be on this first day, but she took to it like a champ, and although she was a little anxious she still had a great first day.
And this is what happens when your daughter has no interest in taking a picture with her teacher on the first day. We were just able to capture Callie entering her classroom with all her gear. It was obvious that there would be no long goodbye, and off she went to tackle third grade.
The first week went so well and we got several fun updates from the girls. However, on that Thursday things took a turn. Reese explained to us how Ms. Willis had asked them to practice writing their letters. When they were done they were supposed to turn the paper over and draw pictures of objects beginning with the letter they had just practiced. To the right is what Reese drew after practicing the letter B. As she told us, she drew a bumblebee, a ball, and, in her proudest moment, a beer. Needless to say we were a little horrified and just hoped that Ms. Willis wouldn't judge us too harshly so early in the semester.
