First day of 1st Grade!

Wow, the First grade already? When did my baby girl grow grow up and become old enough to go to first grade? Gosh... time really does go fast.

The day started off a bit hectic, just as I anticipated it would. The girls are not used to be rushed around in the morning. When we finally got Maddie to school she did just fine. She already started complaining that the first assignment was too easy. LOL She had a bunch of friends in her class that were also in her Kindergarten class last year. Her teacher seems nice, a bit reserved, but nice.

We did okay here at home without Maddie. It was a strange feeling to have her gone ALL day! I don't like it one bit... she is now spending more of her awake hours at school with her friends and teacher than at home with us. :( Lucy and Ava cried for her quite a bit.. "nana?" They wanted to see her and didn't understand why she was gone all day either. The house was definitely a bit quieter, especially at nap time. It was nice to see Maddie's bright smiling face once we picker her up. She gave a big hug and said, "I missed you mama!". Ahhh.. that just melted my heart.
