First day of School Photo!, originally uploaded by Michelle.Dan.

Kindergarten is for big kids.

• Her bus leaves at 7:20 AM and she comes home at 2:30. Today is her 3rd full day of school.
• Her teacher is very nice and urges all parents to be involved with the school.
• Emily is ecstatic that she got to do the BIG monkey bars on the playground.
• She eats HOT LUNCH because they give dessert.
  
• Carries her snack in her BARBIE lunch box, her favorite snack so far is "cracker jelly sandwich"..
  
• She learned a very damp lesson regarding saving the rest of your juice box in your backpack.
  
• She has self assigned homework, practicing her alphabet and numbers at the kitchen table as soon as she comes in the door.

The beginning of school came so fast, now it's over and everyone has a schedule and the days are flying by.

In all of her five years she has never been away from home this long. 

I miss her.
