First Day of School

The day has finally come.  Ava is going to Kindergarten.  I'm sad that she is growing up but as always it is amazing to see all the changes that happen too.

Ava got Ms. Brown for her teacher this year and her first day was this past Monday.

 Here's the big girl getting ready to head to her first day.  She was excited because her friend Sydnee is in her class too. So at least she will not be completely alone.

 Ava & Ms. Brown.  Ava was excited the first day and surprisingly did not cry (I was expecting the tears since she had said several times over the summer that she did not want to go to Kindergarten because she would miss preschool).  The rest of the week was much harder for her because although she says she loves school when she gets home, she has a hard time wanting to leave home.  But I know it just takes time to get used to the new routine.
