First Grade

I really can't believe we have a 1st Grader in the house! Where in the world did the summer go? and is it really possible to have a 1st grader and really true that Paige is starting preschool next week? Yes, yes it is true. It is so weird to think that Allison is gone from the house from 8:15-3:00, every.single.day (well at least she gets out at 2 on Wednesday) but still....those are long days! It is a good thing Allison loves school and loves learning! Thank goodness she does not take after her mother who cried all summer long before every new school year until high school.

On the first day of school when Allie was getting ready we had a few little conversations. Remember to go to the bathroom at recess, your snack will be in your side pocket, have fun, don't worry if you don't get something right, just try your best...you know all the little things to help ease her little curious heart and mind. In the midst of all of the talk and reminders, she got a huge smile and said "Hey mom, it should be called first great because I know today is going to be great!" and I knew she would be fine! She can be a worrier about some stuff and a little OCD at times, but we went to school to check things out once we knew who her new teacher was. I will admit I stalked her on FB first and was able to show Allison a picture of her new teacher. "Mom she is like a teenager, well not really but you know kinda"....she is young and excited to be at WC, and I know Allison will have a great year. She will learn lots and grow as a student. We had a wonderful Kindergarten year and I know this will be awesome as well. Our little 1st grader had a "great" first day!

 Mrs. Crouch taught these girls well...one minute in class and already hard at work!
