Mia Starts 1st Grade

This past week Mia started 1st grade! It was a big week for her and she was very ready to get back to the school routine (and so was mom). Summer was fun, but we had lots of togetherness and Mia and Lily were ready for a break from each other. :) Mia was excited to find out that she has several friends in her class this year. The year is starting off with a sub because her teacher had a baby a few days before school started, so we're excited for her to get back to teaching. But it was a great week and she loves everything about 1st grade!! The sad part for me was realizing how fast she is growing up -- the first day of school she wasn't that sure she wanted me to walk her all the way into class. I told her I was because I wanted to meet some of the other kids and take some pictures. She made me promise that the next day I wouldn't walk her into school. She is 6, and already she doesn't want her mother around.

My first grader!
