Amelia's First Day of First Grade

Today was Amelia's first day of school. The summer just rushed by, and I don't think I was emotionally prepared to send her off to a full day of school! She looked nervous when I dropped her off, and I managed to hold my annual first-day-of-school-tears until I got to the car. Her day went great, of course. She loved going to music and gym for the first time, and seemed intrigued by the lunchroom. She's excited to go back tomorrow, and we'll see if I can make it through the drop this time.

Looking like a very mature and sophisticated first grader.

Colin and Jack were excited for Amelia (until they saw me bawling, I did some fast talking afterward). Colin is holding a pine cone named "coney" that he's been kicking around for a couple of months. His first day of school isn't for a couple of weeks, thankfully!

Yikes, I forgot all about the lunch thing! So are you going to pack a lunch every day? What a frightening thought!

Amelia does look so mature! And I love "Coney".
