First Day of First Grade

Sydney finally had her first day of school. She stayed home sick for the first two days, but got to go today on the day they set aside to celebrate her birthday. Because her birthday is so close to the start of school, Mrs. Baker let her decide if she wanted to celebrate now or in the Spring with the rest of the summer birthdays.

Sydney's first day of school was Red, white and blue day to remember 9/11. I was secretly bummed that she didn't get wear the original dress we picked out...it was pink and purple.




The next two pics were taken on the day before school started. We got to "bring your stuff to school" that day so I took the opportunity to snap a few pics. I'm glad I did since she missed the first couple of days.
