Action Girl's First Day of Grade One

The page has turned. Action Girl had her first day of school today! The day really started the night before when Action Girl and her mom made her lunch. Action Girl was excited but managed to get to asleep without much fuss.

FIRST DAY OF GRADE ONE

06:30ish all family members accounted for, some even up.
07:00 Breakfast
07:25 Goodbyes and hugs for Mom
07:43 Leave house
07:43 Come back to house for camera
07:44 Come back to house for sneakers (crocs are dirty- in the end she wears them anyway.)
07:45 Leave!
07:55 Arrive at Daycare. Talk to teachers everyone wishes Action Girl well- hugs and goodbyes for/from Super Girl
08:00 Arrive at school
08:01 Wait
08:02 Wait
08:05 Visit after school club (Action Girl isn’t going in the mornings but we wanted her to see it first).
08:10 Waiting again. We decide to listen to a Bob Marley in the car for a while.
08:15 More Bob
08:20 Leave car for Action Girl to see a grade two friend in the parking lot.
08:25 More Bob and chatting in the car
08:40 Leave car, chat with other parents and kids. Worry. Action Girl gets quieter.
08:45 Go into school. World does not end. We find her classroom. No tears. Action Girl goes to school.

All kidding aside, Action Girl had a great attitude and seemed to get off to a great start. The school was very welcoming. No, I did not cry either. She can’t wait for tomorrow and neither can I.
