first day of kindergarten

everly had her first day of kinder on thursday.  I'm so proud of how resilient this little lady is.  she has been to three different schools in the past three years [private pre-school, TK only offered at a few places, and now her forever elementary school].  however, she has always been so excited to go to a new school, meet new friends, and get to know her teacher.  as much as she is my daughter, she is the exact opposite of me when it comes to going to school.  miss independent is her middle name.  while other littles were clinging and crying to their parents, our daughter gave us the sweetest smile and wave goodbye as she was lined up with her class on the kinder playground, all wearing their little fishy paper nametags.  so thankful for this little smile, especially since I was running back to my own school and my own 6th grade students who were thankfully being watched by my principal for a bit so I could play mom for a minute too!

here are a few of those sweet smiles from the first day of kindergarten!

happy first day of school baby girl!
