Allie's First Day of School

Allie started kindergarten today! She was up at 6:30 and grumbled a little bit when she realized that she had to get up at that time EVERY morning. Her response? A sighed "Oh, man". She wanted to get dress immediately. I persuaded her to wait until after breakfast (she is her father's child). Once she ate her French toast and drank her juice and it was off to get dressed. I couldn't remember that last time she got ready so fast. We were out the door and ready for pictures at 7:30. Once at school, she could hardly contain her excitement. She met her teacher and we stayed with her until 8:45. When I picked her up, she told me it was a long day. She was out of school at 11:20. I thought to myself, "Wait until you get out at 2:00, then you'll know what a long day feels like".
