The day I was dreading all summer finally came - the first day of school for Brooklynn, her first time to be gone all day. I was nervous I'd feel lost without her and her sisters wouldn't know what to do without their ringleader. Of course she was extremely anxious leading up to the day, because she was scared of a new teacher and new friends (she didn't have any friends from last year in her class).
We only heard great things about her 1st grade teacher and were looking forward to one teacher the entire year! After meeting her at the meet & greet our nerves subsided and we were ready to rock & roll! By this time I was a little exhausted from breaking up the sister fights constantly and was hoping having only 2 during the day would be a breeze!
Although Brooklynn still had a few fears, she was awesome the first morning and obliging to all of my picture demands! She even rode her bike the first day, showing off her new skills. Her day was fabulous, and while it was and still is strange to have her gone all day, she is learning so much, and I'm just happy she's in an awesome classroom. The little girls are finally getting along great with each other (apparently the odd number is tough and 2 is a breeze), making me a much happier mommy to be around. Summers are fun, but I can see why parents say they are ready to shoo their kids back to school.
No tears on either side = successful 1st day! We're so proud of our big girl!
