Kindergarten

Vanessa had her first day of official school at the beginning of this month. Turning 5 was a big deal because it meant she got to go to Kindergarten. So all summer we had been waiting for this day!

Here she is in her first day outfit (that she got to pick out):


Since her Grandma Brown was here, she even got her favorite hairdo (a braid):

Vanessa's new class, and her new teacher, Mrs. Marcum. We were lucky to get to have Vanessa in the one half-day kindergarten in the area (most are full-day), which also was her school from last year. We love St. Lukes!
Vanessa had an awesome first day and was not really shy or nervous (like she was afraid she'd be). There's 14 kids in her "lion" class, including her, and the majority are boys. She also has two friends in her class she knew before school. She loves showing us what she did each day, and now has a new interest in recognizing and learning to read words. She's so happy!

Here's to an exciting new school year!
