First Day of Kindergarten

Today was Riley's first day of kindergarten! It was also my first full day of school with my students so unfortunately, I was unable to take her:( Mike however was able to get the day off and so daddy took her:) (This might have actually been better...) She had a few tears when it was time to go to her room but Mike explained that many of the other kids...who also had tears....were nervous too. He said that she was fine when he left and when he picked her up she was smiling and in a good mood. On the way home, she got an ice cream treat to celebrate a great first day! Tomorrow will be another test since I will be taking her and she will need to go to the before and after school program as well. She has only shared a few details of her day but it sounded like she enjoyed her first day and will learn lots! Here is to a great first year of school for Riley....

And on a Payton side note...she took about 5 steps a few times walking in between us:) Maybe she will continue to get braver and be walking all by herself soon!!
