First Day of Kindergarten

Today was Ella’s first day of kindergarten!  As much as Ella has anticipated this day, I have dreaded it equally as much.  I just can’t wrap my mind around the fact that she’s old enough to be going to school!  Ella was excited and nervous about what to expect at big school.  She asked a million questions on the way to school and it was all I could do to answer them without crying!  When we got to the school, it was all I could do to hold it together.  She was super excited and walked right in her classroom to a room full of eager kindergarteners.  No tears and no looking back.  I think she even rushed me along a little because I wanted to take a thousand pictures :)  As I walked down the hall I was talking away to Cory only to realize he wasn’t with me but was still standing outside Ella’s classroom watching her.  I’m glad I wasn’t the only one having a hard time leaving.  I would have to say that leaving that school without her was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done!  2:30 couldn’t come soon enough!!

Ella was so excited to have one of her best friends from SYC in her classroom. (and even more excited that they were sitting next to each other!)

From the smile on this face, I could tell she was going to be just fine…

Ella had a great first day of school!  She made lots of new friends and got to see some of her friends from preschool.  She is excited about going back tomorrow :)
