The First Day!

Tuesday was a BIG day for Clara Rose. The first day of Kindergarten and the first day of her ballet/tap dance classes. Clara has been so excited to start Kindergarten she was thrilled when the day arrived.

Clara ready for her big day. 
If the quantity of ruffles equals 
the amount of ready, she was
very, VERY ready!

After an exciting morning of getting ready and having a nice breakfast, we packed up the car and headed off to the school drop off line. I was anxious how our girl would do. She still tends to get a little emotional when I drop her off at daycare each day. How was she going to do with me dropping her off at a sidewalk, into the hands of a stranger/teacher, while I remained in the car. Our big girl was proud, strong, and confident. We did our "kissing hand" kisses, said "I love you" and she was off. I, on the other hand, began crying as soon as I started driving away. Colton was confused as to why I was sad. I didn't think I was going to be that Mom that cried. At least I didn't cry in front of Clara; that could have been disastrous!

After picking her up at the end of the day, Clara only had one word to sum up her day, "Great!" Next, it was time to rush home, heat up some leftovers and head off to the first night of ballet/tap class.

All ready to dance!
We finished up, and went back home with one exhausted little girl. All that excitement wears a young lady out! Here's to a great year for Clara Rose with lots of new experiences!
