She'd seen this pink dress in the Gap the day before when we went to get her back-to-school haircut. She told me if she could, she would wear her on her first day. So of course I ran out that afternoon and picked it up as a surprise. She was so surprised and thanked me over and over.
I took a lot of pictures. I had to. I probably would've taken more than I did if she'd have let me!
Before leaving for school
With my mom, Grandma McIntyre
With her friend (our neighbor) Caroline. They get to ride the bus together which is fantastic.
First Day of Kindergarten
Walking in to school. I love how they're holding hands.
Her locker
Her table
Please mom, haven't you taken enough?
One more, just one more, Emma! I had to beg to get this one.
The moms after drop off. Surprisingly dry-eyed.
Emma was laughing and really, really excited when the bus pulled up.
Mackenzie was so happy to see Emma!
Ta-da! First day is done!
Daddy was there to see her get off the bus.

Emma loved her first day. Liked her teacher, liked her locker, liked eating lunch, she liked it all. I still can't believe I have a Kindergartener though.
