Kindergarten Rocks!

Today was the first day of Kindergarten!  Riley woke up excited for kindergarten, meeting new friends and riding the bus.

The night before we picked out the perfect first day of school outfit,  we read "The Night Before Kindergarten" and talked about all the awesome things she will learn this year.  She went to bed excited (and a little nervous) for what was to come today.  

I swear I think she woke up this morning looking a tad bit older than she did the night before!!!

She took a shower in the morning and ate her breakfast of choice - pancakes!!!  She even let Avery join her for pancakes at the table!

Then it was time to get dressed and take too many pictures.  Here she is all decked out and ready to go to her 1st day of kindergarten.

Then it was outside to meet up with Gianna and Nicole for 1st day hugs, giggles, and pictures.

Riley waited for the bus (a little impatiently, as it was running late).  But she stood at the end of the driveway listening for the sound of a bus.

She got on the bus without ever looking back.  She is such an independent little big kid!

We spent the entire day wondering about what her day would be like and if she would come off the school bus as happy as she was to get on it.  Right before Riley came home we received a phone call from her teacher telling us that she had a great day and that she was a great listener, asked questions and made new friends.  When Riley got off the bus she WAS just as happy and told me she had a great day.  She also informed me, in case I wasn't already aware, that KINDERGARTEN ROCKS!!!  And I couldn't agree with her more!!!!!!!

Here's to a fabulous year of learning new things!!!
