1st Day of First Grade

1st grade????!!!! Really?!??! How is already time for Mallory to be in first grade?!?!? She was SO excited and couldn't wait for today to get here. We had fun getting ready and anticipating this big day! We painted her nails and curled her hair. I had fun making her outfit and bow. She looked so beautiful carrying her Hello Kitty lunchbox Nana & Papa gave her... just beautiful!

Jack was very apprehensive and wanted to go to school with her. She was SO sweet to love and console him.

Ready for a great day...

Mallory and her teacher, Mrs. McIntosh

She walked right into her classroom and got right to work. Jack struggled with leaving her. He begged to stay! But a promised visit to the playground helped hurry him out without any significant melt downs. :-)

One last hug... this picture melts my heart!!!

I can't wait to pick her up this afternoon!!!!!

I know it's going to be a wonderful year!

They grow up entirely too fast, don't they? My daughter just started 10th grade, and I swear, she was JUST in 1st grade!; September 10, 2011 at 12:24:00 AM CDT
