First Day of School


After 7+ months of bugging me (since the day we went for a school visit in February), Melissa has not missed a single day about asking me when she will start school. We also drive by her new school almost every day, so each and every time, I would hear, "there's my new school" and if she missed the opportunity, sure enough, Meagan would say "Look Melissa, your new school". Finally, the first day was here. She woke up early and without even a word from me, she was dressed in her uniform and ready to go. Unfortunately it was only 7am! She then proceeded to do about 15 laps around the house chanting " I'm going to school today, woohoo" over and over again. Got this on video in case a few months down the road she starts singing a different tune!

Finally, 8:30 arrives and we leave the house. Drop off Meagan and head to her school. Her smile was ear to ear and by the time we found parking 2 blocks away :( she was beyond excited and took off as if she was running the 100m dash.

We got into her classroom and she never looked back. Picked her up and she had an awesome day. Teacher said she was great and it looked like the first day of school was a success!

J'espère qu'elle aimera l'école pensant les 15 prochaines années! You are lucky, it's a good start!

What a big little school girl, let's see how long she stays smiling, if only she knew how many grueling school years to come, she might not have been so anxious to start!
