Emily's First Day of School

Today was Emily's first day at school. She woke up and had a hearty breakfast and some playtime with Alex before we left for her big day! Alex was mesmerized by what she was drawing on the MagnaDoodle. :)

And here is Emily posing in her "pwetty" sweater before we left for school. She was a real nut this morning -- just couldn't wait to leave!! :)

Here we are just outside the school. Emily was so excited to wear her backpack -- she looked adorable!! :)

There are one-way windows to each classroom and before we went in this morning, she was taking a look! :)

One of the many little things we brought home from school today -- she couldn't wait to draw with her new pencil! :)

And she couldn't wait for Daddy to get in the door for lunch so she could show him all her new papers and art project from class.

Even after a very happy day at school, Emily was quite pleased to see Nelson at lunch. :)

Overall, I think Emily had a great first day at school! She said she climbed all the way up to the top of the jungle gym (a two-story playland inside the school) but didn't go down the slide because she was too scared. So, she went back down the stairs. Sounds like Emily, doesn't it?! :) And she got to have juice and animal crackers -- the highlight of the morning! :)

And when she woke up from her nap this afternoon, she asked me if she could go back to school tomorrow. I think she's going to love it there . . . but she might be sad when she realizes school is only Tuesday & Thursday! :)
