Faith's First Day of School

Yesterday was Faith's first day of Kindergarten. When I registered her for school she kept telling me how she didn't want to go to school or ride the bus so I made it my mission this summer to get her to want to go. So all summer we read books, talked about it, and even watched this show called "Kindergarten" to get her ready. The weekend before she would go around and tell everyone that she gets to go to school and ride the bus, she was so excited and I was very happy. Here's pictures of her first day of school

Anyone who knows Faith knows that she isn't a morning person. Or as my dad would lovingly say "Faith isn't really a morning person. But she isn't an afternoon or evening person either." Well yesterday was a totally different story. When she woke up, she was very excited to go to school. The only thing I did wrong was enroll her in PM Kindergarten instead of AM. All day long she would ask "Is it time to walk to the bus stop yet?"

Of course Lexi and Logan had to have pictures also.

Faith wanted to make funny faces in some of the pictures.

She wanted to make sure and have a picture with her backpack. She even got to ride the bus to and from school. We followed behind the bus and stayed for a few minutes in her class.

Here she is in her classroom. At first she wanted to sit at the purple table (it's her favorite color) but when no one else sat down at the same table she moved to the blue table.

All the kids sat on the rug and the parents were invited to stay for the first story of the day. It was called "The Kissing Hand" and is a really good story about saying goodbye. Logan came with me to pick Faith up at the bus stop. She had the biggest grin I have ever seen on her face and she told me all about what she did after we left and even brought home a picture of a rainbow that she drew on one side and a dragon on the other. She is so excited to be in school and loves it...so far.
