1st day of Kindergarten

Makenzie started kindergarten on Monday! Her day started with me shining my cell phone light at her sweet face (as not to wake Ashlyn) at 6:30am. It seems so early to me that elementary school starts at 7:30. It was of little surprise to me that Makenzie was tired, given we got back from vacation with just one full day to recover, but she was a trooper and excited to start her day. She insisted on riding her bike on Wednesday, so her daddy walked along with her and even joined Makenzie for lunch in the afternoon. She was SO THRILLED!
Ashlyn missed her sister. She asked when Makenzie was getting home, but in all honestly, I think she was waiting for a piece of the cookie cake we ordered for her big sister!
It's been a big change for all of us. I've had plenty of time to prepare, but that time went by SO fast. I am sad that my time at home with Makenzie has shortened, but am excited for all the new opportunities school will bring to her.
