Carleigh's First day of Kindergarten

Carleigh,
Last night we got you all packed up and ready for your big day! You even had homework to do! You colored your very best ever picture so that you could get a sticker from your teacher!



Today we woke early and you hopped right out of bed, which is rare for you because you like to sleep in and cuddle in the mornings! You raced into the bathroom asking where your dress for today was and then you raced off to get dressed! You ate your breakfast great and got your hair done with a smile on your face and even requested a pony tail which you NEVER do!!! You looked so pretty and grown up! We put on your shoes, grabbed your brand new Littlest Pet shop book bag and out the door we went! After dropping Caylee off at Meme's,  
(she was wanting to be just like you, she looks up to you and loves you so much!)
and doing a photo shoot in front of Meme's pretty flowers like last year!

Off we went! We got to school and the first person you looked for in line was your very best friend Chloe!

 Then the bell rang and it was time to go into class! You went right in and found your name at your table!!
and guess what!! That silly teacher sat you right next to Chloe! OH MY GOODNESS!! You were so excited! Next we put all your supplies away, this took quite a while because you had LOTS of supplies!!
These were just a few!! Then we hung up your book bag and it was time for mommy to leave! I was pretty sure that I would cry when I left but you were so brave and happy and excited that guess what!! Mom didn't cry either!! I couldn't cry when you were doing such a great job, that would have made me a silly mommy!! We are so excited to see what kind of new adventures you are going to learn in kindergarten!! I know you are going to do a wonderful job!! Here are a few facts about you as you started kindergarten! We went for your physical and you did a great job getting all three of your shots! You weighed 67 pounds and were 47.5 inches tall! The doctor said your weight is good for your tall height! We also went to the eye doctor and your vision is right where it is supposed to be, most kindergartners see at 20/30 but you are already seeing at 20/25 and 20/20!  You can already write  your first, middle and last name, count to 25, draw and name all your primary shapes, you know all of your colors, and all of the alphabet, you can write all the letters of the alphabet and know all of the sounds the letters make!! You already have such a great start that I know you will pick up on all the new stuff in no time! Last night you also tied your shoe for the first time. . .  my oh my how grown up you are getting!
Love, Mommy
(Update: I just talked to you and you said your first day was so fun! You can't wait to go back  for a FULL day tomorrow!!)
