First Day of Kinder!

Bell had a great first day of school Ü.
And you know I had to spruce up her backpack Ü...
thanks to an idea my friend, Shannon, came up with last year.
Note to self: don't procrastinate, get things done before the night before so you're not up till 1am!
I think the two musketeers missed each other.
Before we left this morning, Bella sat down with Aube for a "pep talk".
She says: Aube, I will be gone for a long time today and you are going to miss me.
Aube says: I'm going to play Mario Kart and you can't play.
Niiiice...
But who ran up to who and gave them a nice big ole hug?! Yup...
I thought I would be more emotional than I was...but thanks to some good friends I was busy the ENTIRE day and was able to keep my mind off it with some good food and retail therapy Ü.
I'm SO EXCITED she's in school. When I picked her up and she was listing the things she had done that day, I was even more excited. What an awesome thing....a child...growing and learning!

I am so glad that it was such a nice experience for you both! oh.... and Daddy too!! Ask Aubree if maybe Grammy could play Mario Kart with her sometime??? I still remember James' first day of school with all of the Spanish speaking kids.... the teacher said EVERYTHING twice! Once in English and then again in Spanish. I was ticked that he was missing out on half of his kindergarten experience!!! He seems to be ok now though.......
