The first day. . . in the first grade!

Keaton looking quite dapper on the 1st day of 1st grade! Isn't the little boy tie belt so cute? She wasn't nervous one little bit!

Okay, now make a crazy face!


Keaton in Mrs. Childress' classroom--almost time for the bell to ring!
I wish I could tell you more about Keaton's first day of first grade, but she remains quite tight-lipped as of now! I'm sure more details will come soon. For the first day, Mrs. Childress had all of the students put 10 objects that tell about them into a red bag. Keaton chose: a pink marker signifying her favorite color, coins-b/c she loves to collect coins, a paint brush b/c she loves to paint, a pencil b/c she loves to draw, a ravioli label b/c she loves ravioli, a picture of her family, a picture of her soccer ball b/c she loves to play soccer, a picture of Jesus b/c she loves him, and her journal b/c she loves to journal about all that she's doing. She said that she was not nervous to talk to everyone, and that she spoke out loud and clear. She's soooo mini-showtunes! Do I feel an Oscar coming on in the future? Stay tuned! : )

She looks adorable! LOVE the belt, is it really a tie? Love the knee highs, so preppy looking!

I wish I could get Mayzie to wear the little jumpers and knee highs! I love the tie belt!!

Mayzie had Mrs. Childress last year. She loved her. Just make sure if you need to communicate with her that you do it in person. She isn't much for responding to emails or notes.

Penny, I miss you as my VTer! But at least we still have church and book club to hang. Have you finished Rebecca? It's at my house this time. So, I love those pics of the first day of school. I love the socks.
