First

Today, August 24, 2010, was the first day of school.  Shea is a first grader! I can not believe it!!  Time goes by too quickly.  First, she had the flu yesterday but managed to get better so we could attend School Year's Eve.  Shawn, the kids and I were able to go to school and see her room, meet her teacher and Shea took Shawn around the school, he doesn't get the opportunity to get there as much as I do.  He also met her music teacher, Mrs. Demming.  We were up bright and early and she was eager to go.  I think going last night eased the fears.  She is sitting by her good friend, Kylie.  They are both super excited about that!!  Here she is, on her first day of First Grade!!

Shea picked out her outfit on her own, she did an excellent job!  She has plenty to pick from after Grandma Godsey, Shea and I went shopping!  There were NO tears today!  WAHOO.  They only thing she asked was this, "really, pictures today Mom"?  I told her to expect her picture to be taken on the first day of school until she graduated.  She'd thank me later!

Here is Shea with her little brother.  Will is almost two now!

She asked me to take her to school on the first day.  Sure, I'd love to!  She was also a little unsure if she remembered where the room was.  Will and I walked her to the classroom, made sure her bag was hung up and then kissed her good bye.  She told me she was fine and I believe her.  See you at 3:30 girlie!!!  Just for the record, I did not cry on this first day of First Grade!

Her seat!

Shea is going to have a super year in Mrs. Beachy's class!!
