HOW do I have a First Grader?

School is back in session for the 2012-2013 school year & my Little One was so very excited to go back, see her friends & find out who her teacher was!
She was overjoyed to find out she had the teacher she wanted & a couple of her close friends were in her class! I will say the structure and large class size has been an adjustment for her. She is learning that school comes with rules and more quiet than talkative moments.
My little social butterfly is pretty well adjusted though and I know she'll be used to all the new rules and changes very soon! We're hopeful for another great school year!!
Here are some pics from the first day of school!

She's a Big Kid Now!

We started back to school early around here & my baby girl is now a Kindergartener! I can't believe how quickly this day came, it seems like just the other day she was a toddler! She was so very excited about going to big school & looked the part on her first day!

My big girl on her first day of Kindergarten! She was so nervous and excited!

I was all excited for her...and then I walked her in and LEFT my baby in that big old school. I cried WAY more than I thought I would but thankfully after the first day I was as well adjusted as she was with the whole idea!

She looks so big and grown up in her classroom all ready to work :)

She is doing really well with everything school related, but says she doesn't like having to be quiet all the time! It seems there are too many rules for this princess :)

Field Trip Fun

A few weeks ago the Little One's school had a field trip to a local farm. They have a huge playground, petting zoo where they were able to feed the animals and lots and lots of rows of fresh, beautiful strawberries! We had such a fun day with her class & came home with lots of sweet, juicy strawberries! Strawberry Picking was lots of fun! She loved being able to select her own :)

Feeding the animals was "so cool" She did not feed the bigger ones, however!

They also got some soft serve ice cream with their snack. This is one silly girl!

I am so thankful I could go with them, we had a great day!

Little One's class, well, the ones who could go on the Field Trip.
