Chloe's 1st Day of Kindergarten!!

I know, I know I can't believe it. She's old enough to go to grade school now! She was so excited getting ready for school. Chloe picked some flowers with Grandma Patti at her house yesterday and they arranged them in a little decorated can for her teacher. Then the this morning with flowers in hand, Chloe, Caleb, Chris and I all walked the 2 or 3 blocks to school.

Today was about the only day that we get to go in the classroom. It was neat to go in with her and find her cubby area, where to hang up her coat, and look all around the classroom. I was doing great until I looked up and saw another mom crying. I don't know about you but it is almost totally impossible not to start crying yourself when you see that. I managed to hide it from Chloe, and we said goodbye with smiles on our faces.

As we walked home, Chris asked me "what's so different about Kindergarten, then preschool last year?" I told him "nothing, except she's in the grade school now, it's just different." Guys just don't understand. Next year will be even more emotional for me I am afraid- Chloe gone all day in school and Caleb in Kindergarten- but that's next year so I have a while 'til that happens.

Caleb and I walked up to pick her up. And she promptly went all grumpy on us. Who knows? I am slowly getting bits and pieces out of her as to what she did on her first day of school. I think she learned lots of rules!! And who wouldn't get tired and grumpy hearing lots of rules?
