First Day of Kindergarten!

On our way in to the office this morning, I told Kimberly, "It's really hard to let your baby go to Kindergarten. It's even harder to let her Daddy be the one to take her!"
Last night, I checked her bag and I checked it twice. I gave David all the instructions... you know, the usual stuff:

• Make sure you fix her hair.
• Make sure she has her backpack and her extra bags of school supplies the teacher asked for.
• Make sure she knows where her classroom is when you drop her off at the before-school prime-time care.
• Make sure you take pictures... and make sure you email them to me this morning!

Then I made sure that Emery knew that she's not supposed to ride the bus, and that she knows where her lunch money is. We talked about her school supplies, and planned out what to wear. Then I left for work this morning feeling anxious.

For her part, Emery did much better than that. She was calm and cool at bedtime last night. She's been planning this day her entire summer. She's gone over every detail with me, supposing and talking and supposing some more. She's ready.

Now if Kindergarten is only ready for her, then we'll be set! Enjoy the pictures, taken by the best dad ever...
