FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

This morning I softly opened your door

Reluctant to rouse you from sleep

Your blond hair all tousled from a little girl's dream

And your body curled up in a heap.

For a stolen moment standing there at your door

My mind reached back in time

To a little pink bundle cuddled up in my arms

And gentle hints of nursery rhyme.

Was it not a mere yesterday

You were learning how to walk

And I know it was just yesterday

We were teaching you to talk.

But somehow, I managed to waken you

To your breakfast waiting there

I dressed you in your finest clothes

And put braids in your hair.

Oh little girl, I love you so

And I know it isn't cool

To be so hesitant to let you go

On your very first day of school.

Kristina's First Day of School

Her school supplies

Kristina eating her oatmeal for breakfast and making silly faces.

Getting out of the car at school...Being silly as usual.

Kristina and Vanessa dancing on their way up to the door. They spun around to take a pix and this is what I got HEHE.

Playing in the main room before dismissing to individual classes.

Kristina's school shirt.

Eagles Nest Christian School.

Kristina and I taking a picture. She was being such a ham!

Her teacher was the only one to decorate their door.

Nessa was NOT happy to be leaving Kristina and even more unhappy that she didn't get to go to school.

She wanted to see if she could see Kristina through the window's. They've been together almost every day so this is just as much of a change for Nessa as it is for Kristina.

Nessa and I did some "School" at home so she didn't feel left out. She got to color and learn some of her colors.

We didn't forget about Bryce. He got this toy for his birthday just recently and played with it for almost the whole time Nessa and I colored.

She survived her first day! This was after we picked her up and got her in the car.
