First Day of 1st Grade

Last Thursday was Lucy's first day of 1st grade!  The summer flew by and she'll now be in school every day for a full day which will be an adjustment for her since she only went 2 or 3 days/week in Kindergarten.  She's a few days into the school year and so far, she's come home everyday with a big smile on her face so I'd say she's loving it!

She had meet the teacher night a couple days before school started so she was able to meet her teacher, check out her classroom, and even meet a few new friends in her class

After going to her 1st grade classroom, saying hi to her Kindergarten teacher, and checking out the library renovation, we headed out to the playground for popsicles

1st grader!

This year will also be an adjustment for Cece (and me) because last year, we were used to having Lucy home on Fridays when I was off work

One more picture outside

And another with little sis

5 years of back to school pictures--while I miss that sweet curly-haired 2 year old, I'm also so proud of Lucy and the girl she's becoming

First day pics from the last few years

One more hug before I took Lucy to Y Club before care at school and Todd took Cece to daycare

Posing outside of school; I was really happy when I found out 2 of Lucy's other friends in 1st grade would also be in Y Club before care this year so she already had some friends to play with on the first day

She seemed so much more confident this year getting off the bus in the afternoon

We decided to start a new tradition of getting ice cream on the first day of school (we already do it on the last day so why not do it on the first day too!)

Pretty much sums up Cece

And on Friday, Lucy's second day of school, she was able to ride the bus in the morning 

Happy to get a wave from her
