Anna the Kindergartener

Excited for her first day with her Twilight Sparkle backpack.

It's official...Anna is in Kindergarten. "Big kid" school to Anna. Or, as I think of it, "real school". In my mind, the years she's spent in preschool were "fake" school. Yes, by all means she learned her numbers and letters and how to write, but it was more a time for her to make friends, have fun, and frankly, get out of the house! But now, the gig is up. Time for the show. I mean, if she doesn't do well in Kindergarten, she won't get into a good college, right? Just kidding. By no means am I putting that much weight on this year of school. But, with the uniform (a godsend by the way), a backpack, and 6.5 hours at school each day, there is definitely a different feel to the first day of school. For her part, Anna is extremely excited and eager. But I think this is due in a large part to the uniform, backpack, and getting to each lunch in a cafeteria. Hopefully the novelty doesn't wear off anytime soon!

Lucky Anna had her Grammy at the teacher meet and greet and first day of school send off.

Eager for the first day

Helping big sister get settled on the first day.

Reunited after her first day - I think they missed each other.

So cute in her uniform.
