First Grade!

Dear Mackenzie,

Yesterday was your first day of first grade! You were so excited to start school again and if you were nervous, you didn't show it. I walked you and Second GuhGaw into the front lobby of the school and then you guys just hugged me, said bye and matter-of-factly went down the stairs to the cafeteria to wait for the rest of your class. I don't know what I was expecting since it's not as if it was your first day of school ever, but it was like, okay, I guess that's it!

Later, when I picked you up from the bus stop, you were wearing a paper hat that had a fish on it and said "I am 0 fish ally a first grader." What on earth is a zero fish ally? Nothing, because I read the hat wrong and it actually said "I am o-fish-ally a first grader." I missed the (lame) pun!

Anyway, you had a great first day! You said it was very exciting and that you had so much fun, you wished it was already the next day so that you could be going back to school. You miss your kindergarten teacher but you like your first grade teacher and while you have many new classmates, the important thing is that you are still in the same class as your bestie Taylor. Taylor's mom and I even dressed you two in matching outfits, jewelry, hair accessories and sneakers yesterday--so lucky that your new teacher didn't mix you guys up and send you home on the wrong buses, haha!

I am so happy that your year started off well. I hope you learn lots and have so much fun this year!

Love,

Mom
