Down at the school she marched right in and hung up her backpack. She was quiet but didn't cling, hang, or cry. I was amazed. After awhile I bent down and asked her if she needed us to stay or if she was okay and she said, "All the other parents are leaving." Ooookkkaaaayyy, I guess she was ready for us to go. We left her sitting at a table alone putting together a puzzle. The neighbor's boy sat down next to her (I know this because I was peering around the door) and they were just fine. After school she got her handouts from Mrs. Stewart, went to her backpack and put them inside (I know this because I was peering through the window). She came out in the line and stayed put until Mrs. Stewart said she could go. She had a great day reading books and doing her first craft that she was so proud to share with her friends at daycare. She exceeded every expectation I had for her today. I couldn't be more proud. Next we'll tackle the bus ride after school!

First Day of Kyndragarten
Kyndra woke up this morning and immediately started getting dressed for school. She was so excited for this day. We were waiting for Ronda and Landon to join us for lunch and Kyndra disappeared. Not much longer she came up all decked out in her princess regalia. She kept it on until it was time to head out the door. After lunch we quickly took some pictures of the two kiddo's heading to school, then off we went.
