Firsts

It has been a big week of firsts for the Worm! On Tuesday, she met her teacher for the first time at her school's Open House. She likes Mrs. Adams already and has already made her a picture for the sharing wall. (Taylor has her soccer uniform on in the Open House pictures because of the next first...)

Class of 2023!

I had to pull her out of the reading nook. So many books she's just itching to read!

Her locker. Yes, it's pink, a good start already.
As I hinted above, Taylor's first soccer game was also Tuesday night. The Blue Jets came away with the 4-0 win! Taylor did a great job and played really scrappy. She's the youngest out there, so we aren't expecting a ton of goals this year. Still, she definitely holds her own! The other team didn't even get a shot on goal.

Tay Tay's biggest fan.
Today was the big day - Taylor's first day of kindergarten! She was so excited. I went in late and got off early so I could be there for her. Since Susan (the babysitter) lives right down the street from the school, Taylor and I did a practice run of the walk before and after school. A few of the older girls at Susan's were so helpful and even walked her to her classroom (no parents inside the school today). When I picked her up, she ran to me saying, "I LOVE school!!" Yay!

Another. She looks so much more grown up this year!


Barely able to contain herself on the ride to school.

I wasn't really sad at all today. This is the ONLY picture that got me a little choked up. She looks so tiny with that big backpack on!

In addition to her first long day of school (9:15 - 3:50), Taylor had an almost two-hour soccer practice tonight. I think she'll be ready for the weekend!

Until next time,

Mommy Kel

Oh my gosh...where do I start?
1. The close up of Taylor on the ride to school is just soooo freaking cute.
2. I love the picture of Michael at Taylor's game - love that grin!
3. The backpack picture of Taylor is just precious...how can you not feel a little teary as you watch your little one go off to school & become a big girl!!!

You might not have been emotional about Taylor's first day of school, but I'm chocking back serious tears over here! Hard to believe our beautiful blue eyed babies are so grown up already. Have a wonderful kindergarten year, Taylor!

Oh, I made up for it yesterday. It was the first school day that I didn't work and it was so sad not having her around in the afternoon while Michael napped. Tears were shed. Not pretty.
