First grade! How did this happen so soon?! Too soon, for me. My sweet, very artsy/craftsy, singing/dancing, silly, fun, adorable Alanna began a big adventure today with plenty of firsts to experience. Of course, you knew I was going to take as many photos as possible - I see you shaking your head "yes!" ;)
We managed well this morning, and I was able to hold back my tears until the bus pulled away. I surprised even myself. Although, Emmy wasn't quite able to hold back her tears and pleas of "don't go, Alanna." :( She is missing her big sister, very much. Emmy will begin preschool in a couple of weeks - so that should help ... some.
I can't help but reflect on my Alanna's school days as I look through these photos and think to myself, "My, how big (tall!) she is getting and growing more beautiful all the time." *Sigh*
Here's wishing all the kids, teachers, administrators, bus drivers, childcare givers, and parents a wonderfully invigorating school year filled with many safe, fun learning adventures!! All the best to you… And, hugs, too! :)
Don't eat the apple, Alanna!! That's for your teacher!!
She asked for "pig tails" in her hair today.
On the bus in the front seat and away she goes … (is it 4:15pm yet?!!) *sniff, sniff*
Alanna seems quite excited!!! How wonderful!

can't get over how much Emmy looks like Chelsea in some photos. Alanna is lucky not to have to wear a uniform, like all of the school kids down here do. love her pink dress and pig tails! i surprised myself too, not crying until the last moment, after dropping off Kai for his first day of high school last week.
