"I had the awesomest first day of school".

Today was Brooklyn's first day of full time school. Her Kindergarten was only half day and today was First Grade. She is growing up so fast. I took the morning off to make her breakfast and walk her to school. When we got to the school she didn't even say goodbye or give me a kiss. She just kept walking and went right in to her class without saying a word. So independent at such a young age. She loves to go to school and already can't wait to go back tomorrow. We will see how long that lasts. She managed to get in the same class as some of her friends from last year as well as one of the girls on her soccer team so I think that helped a little bit.

She read "Frog Goes to School" and "Bear Snores On" and if anyone would like a little book report all you have to do is ask. She is also very excited to have recess and be able to play outside with the other kids. She is mastering the monkey bars and has made it to the second bar without falling off (she said it was raining so they were slick). She got to eat lunch in the cafeteria with her friends and all the other kids. She is also very excited about her sticker star and the chance to get different prizes and awards. She also knows not to get checks or else they take away half of recess. She also got to go the Principals office on the first day of school. It wasn't because she did something wrong but because she didn't know that she was to walk home after school. The school called Jennie and told her Brooklyn was standing there and wasn't sure what to do. I guess with her walking right into school and not saying anything we forgot to tell her to walk home after. There is nothing like getting a call on the first day of school telling you that your kid was waiting for you. It is funny because when I got home from work and asked her what she did in school she said "I don't know" but when I asked her what she wanted me to list on the blog she has been talking for the last 45 minutes. I guess we should be thankful that she likes school so much. As I said earlier, we will see how long that last.
