3rd Grade


Today was the first day of school. I think we were all pretty anxious. We were all awake and out of bed before the alarm went off. That never happens.

Last night I got all of Emma's clothes ready for her to wear. She wanted to wear her soft comfy dress. I got it all steamed, polished her shoes and packed as much of her lunch as I could. I wrote her name on the inside of her lunch box and on the boxes of her markers, crayons and colored pencils. We were set.

She allowed me to drive her to school even though I think she wanted to get on the bus as it went past our house. We took the pictures out front like we have done every other year. She was excited and nervous. She looked adorable. We dropped her off and there she went, into a sea of other kids all looking lost and yet still excited.

I can't believe that my baby is in the 3rd grade! Where does time go? I pray and hope that this is one of Emma's best school years, that she will make a lot of friends, and lover her teacher.
