My mother showed up to be there for Katie's big moment, and we laughed at how Katie is her mother's daughter. My mom says that I ran all the way to the bus stop on my first day and never wanted to come home. Similarly, Katie danced and jumped around the house and then the bus stop, so excited to start her new adventure.
Last week she tried on her new smock, while Joshua tried on my dress:
Friday Katie went to orientation, and was thrilled that her preschool friend Mia is in her class.
This morning Katie picked out a dress that I hadn't let her wear yet, one that I had been saving for school. She loves that it's sparkly.
And then she hammed it up for the camera, so excited to be going to meet the bus.
As I mentioned before, Grandma joined us for the momentous event, and gave Katie all kinds of tips about listening to her teacher, not forgetting her backpack on the bus, and staying with her class. I don't know how much of it Katie processed as she skipped around the house. But she was so glad Grandma was there to see her off.
Happy first day of school, Katie! I hope you love it as much as I did!
