Our Mc Mc has started Kindergarten!!!! I just picked her up and she has officially had her first week of school! It really has been such an unexpected emotional roller coaster of a week for us both! :)
A couple weeks ago I found out at church that their class lists were posted at the school so right after church we went over and found out her her teacher would be!
Mrs. Atwood!
McKenna was so excited to go to her back to school night and to meet Mrs. Atwood!
This is really where my unexpected emotions began! All summer long I've told people that McKenna and I were both ready for Kindergarten to start... she was bored and driving me a little cra cra! Constantly fighting with Adyson and ready to have her own thing to do. Then we were in that big school... such a big school... such a little girl! What if she needs me??? What if she gets lost? What if she gets forgotten and I'm not there to make her known? So many thoughts were swirling through my head and I was holding tears back... how was I really going to go from having her all mine to giving her to this teacher for 7.5 hours 5 days a week???...
After, Chris and I took McKenna out for an ice cream cone to celebrate this big milestone!
The night before I was dying inside... All these years I've heard of parents talking about crying dropping their kids off for school and I thought they were crazy... until now... now I TOTALLY got it. Her backpack was ready, outfit set out, lunch packed and in the fridge.
She was ready and maybe just a little nervous but not much :)
I dropped her off in her classroom... walked out to my car... and cried the whole way home... how was it possible to miss her voice already? I was only gone for her for a minute but just knowing she was at school was hard! The girl is a talker... like... ALL the time. And I all of a sudden missed it! I watched the clock all day long.
Poor Adyson got her 4 yr old shots...
Then at 3:20 we picked her up!!! She was super happy and we were very happy to see her! She loved her first day!
The best part: Centers
The worst part: She didn't get a treat after rest time for sleeping... so I told her to fake it and everyday since she has gotten the treat lol... Not sure if she actually has to sleep or just be quiet but she was happy to get her treat and she whispered to me "I faked it mom!" and gave me a secret thumbs up!
LOVE you McKenna! We are so proud of you and excited to start your road of learning end education!!!

Soooo adorable! What a bittersweet time!
Oh, man! This makes me dread Kaden starting kindergarten. I almost lost it at preschool drop off. My favorite part of this post by far, though, is that the girls match, even though they weren't together all day. I love it.
