Paige's 1st Day of School

Today was bitter sweet.  It was Paige's 1st day of Kindergarten.  I can't believe my baby is going to school!  We chose not to do any formal preschool education for her.  We really want the girls to be able to be kids for as long as possible.  We feel like they get what they need for preschool just by observing what is around them and working with them when they show an interest.  So this is really the first step that we have taken in letting go.  She is going 3 days a week to a private Christian school in town.  We trust that she will grow in Christ as well as get what she needs academically.  She is SOOOOO excited to go to school.

She got to have a "K" for Kindergarten pancake for breakfast.  She was a little shy at breakfast about getting her picture taken.

Here she is all ready to go!

She is taking her Tinkerbell lunch box and Ariel backpack.

A hug from Mom.

And one from Dad.  Daddy actually came with us to drop her off.  He wanted to be part of her day and see her off.

Walking in.

A pose by her locker.

And all ready for us to leave her.  She did let Lainey color with her for a couple minutes.  I think she had a great day.  She hasn't said much about it, but I'm sure more will spill out when she's ready.  She wants to go back so that's a good sign!
