First Grader

That's right.....first grade, FIRST!!!

I am in shock that this is true, but Caitlyn is so very proud of herself and so excited to be in first grade. All she kept taking about yesterday was how she finally had her own desk (as opposed to tables) and she gets to go to music class every Tuesday. This morning, she was all excited about what the class would be doing on Wednesdays :P

Here she is in the morning before we left


Here she is standing out front of the house


And here she is waking with the backpack that is about as big as she is


Despite her eagerness about first grade, when I woke her up at 6:30 this morning, she promptly asked if she had school today. When I told her yes, she flopped herself back on her bed with a "hmph." Just like mom, not a morning person at all.

Let's just hope that this teacher is nothing like last year's teacher.
