Back to School Continued

We made it to the class room, lined up outside and her day as a kindergartner officially began. She later commented on the backpack in frint if her. It was pink. It had princesses. It was coveted.

In line waiting to go in.

Captured by her teacher's enthusiastic welcome. BTW, when we met her teacher a few weeks earlier, Brinly was overcome by her beautifully BIG hair...she now wants curly hair just like hers.

My baby girl, all grown up. I remember MY first day of kindergarten, how can she be starting hers? It is so hard to believe that she is entering the real world... so innocent. The reality of her not being mine, but Heavenly Father's really hit today. I love her and miss her already! BUT progress...that is what life is about...progress.

When did Brinly get glasses?! I had no idea. They are cute though! Glad the first day of school was a success.

Sweet Brinly. To think she was brave enough to walk up to the kids at the bus (even if she didn't talk to them). This is the girl that wouldn't go to anybody but mommy? You must be very proud.

Do they wear uniforms or are they all just dressed eerily similar?

Can you believe the desire for independence these kids have at such a young age! Brent did hug us and wave goodbye. . .but he was SOOOOO excited to be going by-him-self! He still seems so little and young to me. . .they do grow up fast! Congrats on making it through her first day of school!;) Just wait till she gets homework. . .I have to say it is a bit weird having to worry about homework again!
