Laurel and Savannah were so excited to start school. Especially Savannah because she is in Kindergarten now! She has been waiting for two years now to go to the "big school" with Laurel.
We love Laurel's teacher, Ms. Harris. She has been teaching for 24 years and seems to still love teaching. We got to go meet Ms. Harris on Laurel's actual birthday, August 8th. When Ms. Harris found out that it was her birthday, she grabbed Laurel and hugged her and sang happy birthday to her! I think she is going to have a great year.
Savannah's teacher is Ms. Conn. We have heard great things about her. Savannah said some of the funniest things that first day. She put on her backpack and said, "I can't believe I have a real backpack now!" Before she got out of the car, she said, "Now mommy, I want you to go home and get my baby and cry." She got in the car at the end of the day with the biggest smile and said, "that was the most exciting day ever!" "I did not even get a one (a warning)!" The next day she came running into the kitchen and said, "goodmorning! I was so sleepy when I woke up and then I remembered it was a school day and I told myself, get up you have to go to school!" She asked if I was going to walk her to her classroom. I told her I thought I would just drop her and Laurel off in carpool. She raised her arms up, formed a fist and brought them down with a "YES!"
I think she is going to be just fine!
