The FIRST day of FIRST GRADE!!

The First day of FIRST GRADE was yesterday! MaKieley is in Ms. Gooch's class! She was very excited to get there! It was a very different first day of school this year! MaKieley was out of bed at 6:15 and dressed by 6:16! She wanted to make sure I had a picture of the back of her head to show everyone! (Hmmm----I wonder why!)
When we got to the school we walked around and delivered the 4 apples she bought for "Special People". First we gave one to Grammie, then Ms. McDaniel (the principal), then Mrs. Wuensche (her Kindergarten teacher from last year) and finally Ms. Gooch (her First Grade Teacher). We then took her to the library where all the first graders go if they get to school before the 8 o'clock bell. They were watching a movie so she hugged and kissed the three of us (4 including the baby) and went to watch it! That was it! No tears or clinging like last year! She is growing up, I guess!
When I picked her up the school was a mad house with all the other parents trying to pick up their kiddos too! She told me she had a great day ---- They talked about the rules, colored, went to PE, and learned a poem called Marshmallow Toes.
She was very excited to go back this morning! She was ready to go back to her routine of meeting Grammie out in front of the building so that she could help pick up the 5th graders before running off to her class. So that is exactly what we did! I dropped her off at the front of the building where Grammie was waiting and off they went for an awesome 2nd day of school!
