The school year started with a "meet the teacher" night, where Sara got to see her classroom and meet her teacher and a few other students who were there when we were.
Then a few short days later, it was time for the first day of school! Sara loves posing for the camera, as you can see with that fancy middle pose there. :)
The photos above are really washed out, so here is a better picture to see the shirt she chose for the first day. It has a million sequins on it forming the shape of a heart.
Here is Sara in her classroom on the first day. She was so excited!!
So proud of my little Kindergartener!
We live about 4 miles away from the school, which means the bus comes to our neighborhood! Sara was unsure about it at first, but now she likes riding the bus! Mommy still drives her to school on the mornings when we don't get ready fast enough to catch the bus, but she rides it home everyday since it actually gets her home faster than me going to pick her up would. (Waiting in the pickup lane takes forever!) Plus, it saves me from having to interrupt Ava's nap, and I get another half-hour of quiet time before Sara comes home since I don't have to drive to the school and back. Hooray for the bus!
A funny story about Sara's first day of school: at "meet the teacher" night, Sara met a boy in her class named Max. He is a cute boy and was very friendly. He was talking with Sara and said to her, "Maybe we'll be best friends!" -- I thought that was a funny and cute comment. THEN, after Sara's first day at school, I was talking with her and asking how her day went, and she told me another cute thing Max said to her. He said, "All the boys have girlfriends, and you're mine!" -- Haha! She snagged a boyfriend on the first day of Kindergarten! I don't think I'm ready for this. :)
