1st Day of Kindergarten!

Eleanor's first day of school was more of a parent/teacher meeting while the kids played in the cafeteria. So today we her first 'real' day of school. I watched her run to the bus this morning then waiting all day to hear how she liked it. Basically, this is her story:

"School is awesome! You were right Mom. I thought I would like preschool best but I like preschool and kindergarten the same. There was a little problem this morning and I got lost. I ate breakfast then I didn't know where to go. Grant's teacher came looking for someone and I told her I needed to find Mrs. Duthler. I know what to do tomorrow. I ate cereal for breakfast. I couldn't open the box. Maybe I'll just get eggs tomorrow. You have to get eggs or you have to get cereal. Emma and A.J. are in my class. We learned a song: 'open and shut (hands opening and shutting), open and shut, uh, I forgot'. Last year we had marshmallows in our mouth (blows cheeks out) but this year we have marshmallow toes. Etc. etc."


This group picture didn't exactly turn out as I had hoped

Oh, the stories they come home and tell! At least with girls you hear all of the details...even if hear every.single.thing. Boys aren't as willing to share. :) I cannot believe Eleanor is in Kindergarten! She is so stinkin' cute...I bet she'll have a great year!
