Kindergarten!!!



Today I walked Bryton to her first day of Kindergarten.
Last year she did attend a full day preschool at the local elementary, so I think she was very excited to "go back to school".
We live only 10 minutes away (by walking) from Cole Elementary, and it was really nice to spend the morning with her and talk about whatever popped into her head on the way to school.
Last night we were able to meet her teacher, Mrs. Berg.
She seems very sweet and nice and bubbly (everything a Kindergarten teacher should be)
Bryton and I walked into her classroom this morning and she immediately found her coat and backpack hanger. We unpacked all of her school gear and put it in the class bins then we found her seat.
Her teacher had given each child a small canister of playdough and Bryton set to work right away.
I felt horrible when I realized all the other parents had remembered to bring their cameras and were clicking away at their shutter buttons. And then I remembered that my phone was a camera. So I took a few pics to capture the moment.

Can you tell she is just distraught at the thought of being at school?

And one last look before I walk home...
