My Baby goes to Kindergarten!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First day of Kindergarten for my baby, Gabriella. She's going to Holy Redeemer School

Kindergarten here comes Gabriella!!! She loves school already!!!!!!!!!!!!

Momma is crushed that Gabriella is now IN school. If it wasn't a law...I'd keep her home!

Ms. Tooty, Jocelyn, started another year of preschool at Wee Care Preschool!!!

Today Gabriella started her first day of Kindergarten. She's in Ms. Dudgeon's class and her two best friends Braxton and Ella are in the same class too!!! It was one of the hardest days for momma to drop her off at school and leave. However, Gabriella walked into class AHEAD OF ME, full of excitement and was ready to start the day!!!! She became nervous when Ryan and I told her we were leaving...but seemed okay.

When I picked her up from school at the end of the 7 hour day, she was pumped and said she didn't even miss me because she had so much fun! What a relief...what a change for momma....what a difference a day makes.

On the other hand, Jocelyn is completely lost during the day. In time she'll learn to play by herself...but for now, she's MAD her sister is gone all day!!!
