Chloe's first day of FIRST GRADE!!
(yesterday)
She was SO excited! She couldn't even sleep the night before. I went down to check on her and she was laying there wide awake. So I just sat on her floor next to her bed, and we just talked for a while. The next morning, she was ready to go! She came in the kitchen about 7:15 (I didn't even have to go wake her up). She had her outfit all picked out, and she knew exactly what she wanted in her lunch. She was just SO excited!
When we got to the school, she started to get nervous "Mom, I feel nervous in my tummy!" She got quieter and quieter the further into the school we got, and she kind of peeked around the corner into her classroom. She came in, sat down, and didn't say much. She didn't look around much either. I knew how she felt...kind of playing it cool, 'til she gets to know everybody :)

After a few pictures and talking to her teacher for a minute, we left. It took a little more to get Porter out of there. He wanted to stay with her, and I had to call for him a few times for him to come with us.
So there she was...for the whole day!! I can't even believe she's in first grade, and at school all day! I missed her. I kept looking at the clock all day hoping it was almost 3:30. I was so anxious to talk to her and see how her day was going, how the kids are, how she likes her teacher, how lunch was, and all that. I told Matt I kinda wished she had a cell phone, I would just text her! He told me not to get any ideas.
Then, FINALLY, she was home! I said hi and gave her a big hug and told her I missed her, and she says "well of course you did." The little boys were glad to see her too! Bubb said "kiiisss!!" And she told me ALL about her day! She said "school was SO fun" and told me all about everything. Her teacher is really loud and funny, she's the only one in her class with a princess backpack, only 5 kids in her class brought their lunch from home, she sat next to 2 boys at lunch, she heard stories about bad kids her teacher taught last year, she learned all the rules of the classroom, AND she didn't have any homework that day!!

...and this morning, she was just as excited to go again.
