Today was Julia's first day of 1st grade! She was very excited but also very calm about the whole thing. She barely gave me a kiss and off she went... it kinda made me sad and proud all at the same time!
Since we leave for school so early, it was a little dark still when we took first day of school pictures, and a little cold. None the less Ava and Matthias still wanted in on the action!
This is Julia's 4th first day of school at this house!
Julia and Mrs. Kruse!
Ruth is a dear friend and I am very excited for Julia to have her for her first grade teacher. She has known Julia ever since I started at Trinity when Julia was just shy of 2 years old. She has always been so sweet to Julia over the years and encouraging to me as a mom. She also has three kids (high school and college age) but understands the joys and frustrations of being a busy mom.
Today was a good first day for Julia, but her class lost a lot of students for various reasons and she was missing some of her Kindergarten classmates today. There will be some social adjustments going from a large class to a small class as far as "always someone to play with." She is a social butterfly and likes to be in charge, heaven forbid someone else decide what they will play! I am confident that there will be some growing pains for her this year but I also know that there will be much joy because she loves to learn!
Stay tuned for tomorrow for Ava's first day of school!
( A side note: I had the best first day of 3 year old preschool ever!! We had one crier and 7 happy to be there. They were well behaved and listened. We didn't have to chase anyone down the hall. This day will go down in history as the best first day ever! Karen may disagree, she had to handle the crier/ occasional screamer) :)

So glad that both of your days went well! How did you get to have a first grader, Lis?! Julia is going to be such a little helper/leader!
