She woke up ready to go and only a little nervous. I made her scrambled eggs to go with the cereal she wanted for breakfast. She was excited to take her picture in front of the house. She doesn't really like having her picture taken so I knew she was excited when she agreed.
On the ride to school we talked about what would be different from Christian Academy. We talked about not having Chapel each week and that there wouldn't be a prayer at lunch time, but that she could say her own. We said a prayer in the car on the way to school and Kaylea added to the prayer. I knew she was ready to go.
We walked into the gym around 7:45 and found her teacher. We took a few photos and Kaylea joined her class. She didn't cry. She did want lots of hugs and kisses from me. I reminded her that the day would actually be shorter than a day at preschool because Mimi would be picking her up earlier and I was dropping her off later. That seemed to make her happy.
At 8am the principal got his microphone and they did the Pledge of Allegiance and had a moment of silence before leaving to go to their classrooms for the day. One final hug and kiss and my baby entered big girl world!
When she got home from school Kaylea said it was a great day! She had no complaints. By the end of day two she told me she had already made two new friends at school. We are looking forward to what the new school year brings!
