On the First Day of First Grade....

Can I release a little before I officially start this post please? Thankyouverymuch.

WaaaAAAAAAaaaaAAAAaaa my baby girl is a first grader!! I can't believe it!! Where have the past six and a half years gone!? I now kick her out of the van at the curb... no more walking her to the play ground like we did in kindergarten. She walks into the building by herself!! *furrow brow* *jut out bottom lip*

Ok, so Janie started first grade on August 22nd. She adored kindy and loves first grade. She almost cried the Saturday after school started because she couldn't go to school. She did have her first soccer game that day, which helped her feel a little better, but she said she'd rather go to school. Coach Daddy wasn't thrilled with that statement. Daddy Daddy was, but not Coach Daddy.

A few pics from the day.
Janie's school isn't that old, but it was established in an older school building. Not so great considering room arrangement, modern conveniences, space for the teacher's stuff and all the kids, but there's something I love about a rectangle box of a school... maybe just that it's old school, reminds me of the ones I went to when I was young.


She gets out of the van in front of the school, walks through the hallway outside to the playground. When the whistle blows they line up at doors that lead directly into their classrooms. This was taken at one end of the playground area showing the back of the school and the doors into the classrooms.
