So long summer, hello new school year. I can't believe my oldest smartie started 1st grade today. It was so much different than last year... with kindergarten, it was hard to let go and hold back tears. Today was excitement and smiles. She had everything ready to go and laid out last night...first day outfit, new shoes, backpack, and lunch. So this morning it was pretty easy and we even left in plenty of time to take pictures and say hey to friends as we walked into school. She is beyond blessed to be able to go to the school she does and I can leave her there knowing she is surrounded by loving teachers and friends.
Yes, we did the first day of school sign but I decided to do it different than last year, from now on. I let Harper write it herself. One day we can look back at pictures and see how much her writing has changed as well as how much she has grown and changed.
After school, I picked her and her two cousins up and we went back to their house for after school treat their mom got for all the kids to enjoy.
