Mara's First Day of Kindergarten

After a long wait, Mara finally went to her first day of kindergarten. It took her a couple of minutes to wake up, but she was too excited to eat. We got ready to go, and all of us walked her to school, but not before we took a few pictures.

Because it's the first day of school, we were allowed to walk Mara to her classroom. However, from now on, we'll just drop her off at one of the outside entrances. When we got to her classroom, she put her backpack in her locker, and then the teacher had them sit on the floor to get the name tags that they'll wear for the first few days of school and to wait for morning announcements.

Before we left, I wanted to take a picture of Mara's class. Mara saw us still there and asked, "Mommy, why are you still standing in the doorway?" We took that as our cue to leave.
