First Day of School for Shalyce

Shalyce was sooooo excited for her first day of school!  She quickly jumped out of bed, ate breakfast, got dressed, brushed her teeth, and put on her backpack.  Unfortunately,  she didn't start until that afternoon.  The anticipation was worth it though.  Here's a few photos from her day.

Before School

After school (I love that instead of putting on her backpack, she puts on her "sling pack".  So cute!

First Day of School

Haysannah's first day of first grade is here! She was so excited for school to start. We went into the classroom last Friday to meet her teacher and put her supplies in her desk. The teacher, Mrs. Olguin, told her to pick any desk that she wanted.

I got up early to wake her up and she just popped awake and immediately began to get dressed (this never happens). She already chose her outfit last night and laid it out with everything else she needed to wear today. Then she came down and ate waffles (her favorite). She was ready to go!

Here she is getting ready to walk out the door.

(Shalyce wanted to be included on the first day pictures as well.)

I took her to school for the first day to make it special and to make sure she knew what she was doing. Haysannah just loved seeing all of her friends again from last year. (She is going to the charter school here and they have one class per grade. So most of the kids she had in her class will be in her class this year.) When the bell rang she lined up against the wall and was welcomed by her teacher. Good luck Haysannah!

I hope she does well today and enjoys her lunch (that's a first for her too). They have a no peanuts rule at their school due to a few kids who are allergic. I was really stressing about what she would eat. Our ususal hot dogs, macaroni and cheese, and peanut butter sandwiches just wouldn't work. I am having to get creative on this one. Any suggestions?
