First Day of School

First day of 2nd Grade for Madi Bell!
I don't know about anyone else, but I always remember being so scared for the first day of school...well, Madi is nothing like that. She was so excited! I was a wake this morning and I heard frantic footsteps upstairs...so I go and check and it was Madi making her bed. I asked her how she slept and she said in a rushed voice, "Good, but I woke up late." I told her to calm down, she didn't sleep late. She wanted to wake up at 7:00, so when she woke up and saw that the clock said 7:03, she mistook that for 7:30...but she was fine after that....but believe me, she would have had enough time if she woke up at 7:30! So funny!

She had plenty of time once she was ready, so she watched some cartoons for a little bit before we left for school.
Madi sitting at her desk...so cute!
After we went to her classroom, she said she wanted to go outside and wait in the line, so we went out...but then she remembered you NEEDED your backpack to hold your place in line, so we HAD to go back and get it. Then went outside and everyone was lined up anyway, so she stood in line. She has a ton of her friends in her class...it should be a good year! And her teacher seems very nice and I have heard great stuff about her!
This is the look I get when she is trying to tell me "Enough pictures already, MOM!"
Then I thought I would sneak in the school and get one last shot of her at her desk...well, after I took this picture she heard the shutter and turned around, so I flashed her an 'I love you' sign...well, whoops, she looked around to see if anyone saw...sorry Madi for being such an embarrassing Mom...I am sure it won't be as bad once Cassi starts school....I can stalk her...
Good luck Madi on your first day!!!

I dropped Alex off for his first day of JUNIOR HIGH today and almost had a meltdown right there in the parking lot. I can't believe that my first born is starting junior high school. I was not allowed to bring my camera with me this morning, so I took pictures before they left. Tell Madi - good luck - I'm sure she'll love it.

It is good you have younger kids to start this with so Madi doesn't have to endure it forever. :)
She looked super cute and I am sure since she is excited it makes it all easier for you!

Congratulations Madi! I know you will excel! And you look great!!

Kim, I love that you take pictures, even though Madi gives you that look. How is Cassi doing with Madi gone all day?

Good luck Madi! I hope that your day was great!

I love the "enough pictures mom" but it kind of has a "who is that crazy lady taking my picture" look to it!
