Becky's first day of kindergarten

Here is Becky all ready for her first day of kindergarten.  She was so excited to start school. She did seem a little nervous too, but she wouldn't admit it.  She asked me, "What if I don't know what to do?"  I told her to just listen to her teacher, and her teacher would let her know what to do.  Then she asked me, "What if I can't do it?"  I told her she would be able to do it and that she would be fine. 
Here she is posing by the playground.  Every picture we had to take two, one normal standing and then one with her posing.  Oh, my. . . .  



Here is Becky with her teacher.

After we picked up Becky and Colby, we all went for ice cream. 
 Then, just because, here's one of Colby today.
 And here he is all tuckered out.  He hasn't been feeling the best....working on more teeth we think. Ouch!
All in all, it was a good day.  I made it all the way to the car before I had any tears.  So hard to believe she's in kindergarten!  I took the day off so I would be able to drop her off and pick her up.  (and just get some much needed me time) Becky was so excited to show us what she had in her take home folder, that she got it out of her backpack and opened it up while we were still in the gym picking her up.  When we asked Becky how her first day was, she said, "Good."  When we asked her what she did, she said, "Eat lunch."  I think she talked maybe a little too much though, because she didn't have time to eat all of her sandwich or her dessert.  I guess that's a hard lesson to learn, but one that I'm sure she will learn fast!

Oh, she has Mrs. Elrod!!! Love her--Jen had her as her student teacher in Kindergarten and we used to go to church with her and her family. (I think her and Wade went to school together too.) She is super sweet--I bet Becky loves her!!!
