Today was Erika's first day of school. She was not very excited to go and I had to sweet talk her into taking pictures. In fact she so didn't want to go that she suggested that she could take a nap this afternoon as she was tired out from playing with her friends. But alas, to school we go.
We drove as Mommy was running a bit late. We found where she is to go and line up. Miss Cheryl, the assistant teacher, takes them from the playground to the classroom. As the kids were leaving, I heard a little voice ask "Mommy, come in with me?" So all four of us marched inside.
After a few minutes Erika found her seat and started settling in. So a kiss goodbye and we left.
I think I confused the parent helpers in room. This one really nice lady kept asking me if I had any questions, did I want a cup of juice, was I worried about anything. I kept thinking, "I just want to see Erika settled and then I'll leave. This is cutting into my free time, you know." Then I realized that the parent helpers were there to get the teary-eyed parents out of the room. :-)
Afterward, Erin and I walked to school together to pick up Erika and Carter.
Welcome to the system kiddo.

Hmm, her face reminds my of how I feel on the way to work sometimes. Poor kid!
Let her know I'm very proud of her on her first day of school!
