Olivia's First Day of Kindergarten

It was a great first day and went off without any problems. And now that I think of it, it has been a great first couple of weeks. Livi really likes Kindergarten and seems to be doing lots of fun stuff! As a teacher I love being on the other side of a school ager and hearing the teacher and classroom stories. On her first day I only cried a little. Strangely enough, I cried more the day before just thinking about her being in the classroom and on the bus.?

You'll see why I cried on the morning of... Mike and I took the morning off to be there. We waited at her daycare for the bus, then once she got on went to her school to see her get off. (were not weird, everyone does it!) Then we watched her get off and walked with her down to her room. We got to hang out for a little bit because she was one of the first buses. Then Mike and I went back to spy on her cuz, well, we just had too! She was looking a book (so proud of her!) Heres the pics from that day.

Mrs. Vance, the principal, greeted all the kids when they got off the bus.

They had to walk down the line and wait for them to open the doors

This was Liv walking down the hallway with dad!

Here is Liv meeting her teacher Mrs. Jennings!

Liv was in her room checking out what was in her book bag.

Mike and I finally left....

Cleveland Zoo

Just before school started Mike and I took the girls to the zoo. The weather was perfect and we had a lot of fun just walking around. The girls took every opportunity to take a photo with statues. They are such little hams.... must get that from their dad? watching seals

Livi by the dinos, Maddie was too afraid to sit by them.
