Parker's first day of Kindergarten FINALLY arrived. Aside from a few minutes of hysteria when she was overtired over the weekend, she is really ready to get started. She had a good breakfast and got dressed in the outfit she picked out. We loaded up her lunch and her backpack and went out front for the customary picture.
She wasn't complaining about her shoes....but she didn't like the way her socks looked, and she was walking like a duck. I think they might be a little big. We we did a shoe change.
I've been hesitant to let her wear her 'running shoes' since she can't tie them....but then we figured out that we could double knot them and they'd be fine. Duh. She doesn't take them off, so it doesn't matter that she can't untie them w/out help either.
Take two. The official photo:
At Meet the Teacher, Parker's teacher read us The Kissing Hand - a story about a little raccoon's first day of school. His mother kisses the palm of his hand and tells him that if he misses her during the day, to just press this palm against his cheek, and it would be like a kiss from her. The teacher requested that we do this with our kids before school. Parker really enjoyed the idea of kisses from us on her palms. She'd get extras and put her arms around herself for hugs.
The rest on part 3
