The Face of a First-Grader





(Conversation in our van after dropping Hallie off at school for her first day of first grade)

(After a long silence)

Megan: "I wish Hallie was here"

Me: "So do I... I miss her."

Megan: "Me too"

Hallie started school yesterday. She has one girl from our ward in her class- yay! I was so worried about her all day- Will she like her teacher? Who will she sit by? How is she going to get her lunch? Will kids be nice to her? How will she find her bus?.... you get the idea. When she finally came home from her first day (the longest day ever- for me) she walked like she owned the world. As always, I was worrying for nothing. She loves school, loves her teacher, has lot's of new friends, loves school lunch ...etc. The only complaint she had was that recess was too short. We will miss not having her around all day but I'm so glad that she loves school. That's right, take a good look because this is the face of a first-grader!

We're so happy that Hallie's first day in the First Grade was a good experience for her. She is growing up soooooooo fast. We can't wait to see her in person again.
