Maddie's 1st Day of First Grade

Maddie was so excited for her first day of school.

So much preparation for a 6 year old.

We packed her lunch the night before. She insisted that she take cold lunch with her new lunch box, instead of the "nasty" hot lunch. We made a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, applesauce, blueberries, crackers, and fruit snacks.

Then, we were on to pick out the 1st day outfit. The forecast today is 90. A hot one for all. I have never seen Maddie pop out of bed so fast. She was off getting dressed, doing her hair, eating breakfast and then brushing her teeth.

When we got to daycare, Karleigh and I walked Maddie out to the group waiting for the bus. All of the kids were pretty excited. They were showing off their new backpacks, their school supplies and new shoes. I swear that half of the 1st graders backpacks were bigger than they were.

And then there were off. Off to start the day.

We officially have a first grader!
