A Great 1st Day!

 
 
 
 


I seriously thought I would bust before Daniel got home in anticipation of hearing how his day was. He road the bus this afternoon (since it gets to our house before I could picking him up in the car line). We were excited that his PE teacher, Coach Cooper is his driver. He came bounding down the steps all smiles & said, "I had a GREAT day!". We have gotten lots of details: his favorite part was lunch, the playground was super fun, Ms. Elledge read The Kissing Hand, he helped a little girl in the bus line this afternoon who was scared, he has to learn his lunch/library #, he has a VERY important paper for me, he so hopes he can ride the bus again tomorrow, he got starry eyes & used his manners, he saw Anna Whitley in the hall, a teacher helped him find the amphitheater this morning when he got there, he got lots of rest during nap time, etc. I was especially excited that Ms. Elledge wrote 'Precious' beside the starry eyes in his Huskie Pad. I'm not expecting to see that again, but it sure made this mama happy to see it just one time! Ha! I can hardly believe that my baby just finished his first day of KINDERGARTEN! It doesn't seem possible that he is this big. Lots of prayers were answered today and I am so THANKFUL for a happy, healthy, PRECIOUS little boy who had a great 1st day of kindergarten.

Confession. I prayed for him to have a great day, starry eyes and all. I didn't remember you and the anxious feelings you had. Sorry. I can't believe he is so big. I am very proud of him and for you and Dan. Love you. Beth

Sooo sweet! I'm so glad Daniel is off to a great start! Don't you just want to bear hug his teacher and thank her over and over?!?! I've been praying for both of you.
I love your last few post...feel like I'm flashing back over our last few weeks...
We love The Kissing Hand!
we loved Ramona and are reading it now, too.
Now, if John David and I could just get in a groove...have you and Laura Ann got it figured out yet??
