FINALLY

Macie's first day of school has finally arrived. I have always liked our school starting after Labor day. It gave us a long nice summer to enjoy. But, this year, our summer ended back on August 3rd when Carson started school. And, Labor Day was really late this year. But, the day finally arrived. I better hurry up and finish this so I can get a thing or two done before I have to go back for her.

Macie and her teacher Ms. Michelle. This was at meet and greet on Thursday.

The start of the day. Macie wanted to twirl out by the trash instead of pose for the first day of school pictures.

Then, she decided to try to run down the street.

I am still trying to get her up on the porch, but I decided I would settle for a picture by the tree. She would not let me see her face!

Finally, I get her up on the porch, but there will be no standing or smiling.

Until I offer her a pop pop in the car if she will stand up and let me take pictures.

Offering to let her see them on the camera screen also helped with her attitude.

I love to get pictures with their back packs. They always look like the packs are as big as they are when they start the 2 year old class!

The back pack is on and we are ready to go get in the car.

First one quick look back.

We made it to school. She talked about "Ms. Michelle say not to me", and "Addie no bite me" as well as a few other silly remarks. But, she did great. She walked right in to the room and started playing with play dough. (I was impressed since she is across the hall from her old class room. I thought she might try to go in with Paula and Teresa.) I left her happy and playing with Drew and Addison.
I am sure she will have a great day and a great year. She is in the same classroom (different teacher) as Carson at this age. If we are lucky, the next few years, she will be following in his footsteps.
