Friday was the day I've been anxiously waiting for........Daniel got his teacher letter in the mail & we found out who his Kindergarten teacher is going to be- Ms. Elledge! I was so excited to read her letter & I do remember her from when I was teaching, but she was at the annex, so we were never in the same building & I didn't know her well. I can already tell that she is going to be a perfect fit for Daniel & will be a big blessing in his first year of big school! He really wasn't that interested & didn't even want to read the letter when it first came because he was busy 'building a clubhouse'! Ha! He finally did sit still long enough for me to read the letter to him & he just grinned really big the whole time & said "Woo Hoo" when I got to the bit about her being a Bama fan. :)
I have to say that being on the parent end of the game is a whole new experience. I remember writing my letter at the end of the school year to go out that summer to my students for the upcoming year & not thinking much else about it. As a parent though, that letter has probably been my most anticipated piece of mail, EVER! Trussville does not post class lists, so it was a very exciting day for me texting, emailing & facebooking with friends all day to find out where everyone ended up. There are 15 Kindergarten classes this year spread across two halls/wings of the school, so there were lots of options. A couple of friends said that THE Letter day would've been exactly like the NFL draft if it had only been broadcast live on ESPN! Ha!

LOVE that sweet pic of Daniel. I can see the excitement in his eyes! I know what you mean, the LETTER is anxiously awaited each summer here! Laura Ann's pictures are gorgeous, too.
