First day of First Grade!

Mackinna started school on Wednesday.  Mrs. Bosse is her teacher this year.  This is particularly awesome, not just because Mrs. Bosse is very nice (not bossy) but she was Mackinna's bus room teacher last year AND her son Garrett was in Hen's class last year and her daughter Gillian dances at Drouin with Mackinna!  This year Mackinna rides the bus with our neighbor Julia in the morning- something she has been dying to do for a couple of years now.  This means we have to catch the bus at 7:56!  We've got two days under our belts and so far so good.  We've had two really great mornings.  She has seems tired and cranky in the afternoons and even this weekend, but two great mornings leave me really hopeful that this year's transition will be much easier than last year.

Here are some pictures from the first day!

She really debated about her first day outfit

Ready to walk to the bus stop, probably glad I let her put the 1st grade sign down

Good morning Ms. Sue!
