We Made It!

Both Mom and Madison survived the first day of Kindergarten! I was lucky enough to get to go with her to school today and stay all day to make the transition easier for both of us (I think mostly for me!). Madison is now officially a Wildfire Firebird and had a great 1st day. She LOVES her teacher, Miss Johnson, and is especially excited to get to eat in the big lunchroom.

We met up with all her neighborhood friends, Arden, Sydney, and Audrey, and walked to school. It was so precious to see them all walking together with their ginormous, empty backpacks on. I can't believe I now have a Kindergartner!! I am going to keep this post short and sweet because I am already tearing up just thinking about the day and the fact that she is leaving me again tomorrow!! Good luck Madison and I know you are going to have a fabulous year!
