Ready or Not Here She Comes

I have never met a kid that was so ready for kindergarten as Caroline.  Then again I didn't know my mom when she was a kid, I"m sure she was the same way. Caroline started school on Thursday!  She was literally counting down the days about a month before it started.  She did tell me the night before that she was a little nervous but after we talked she was too excited to be scared.  The morning went well, we got to her class just fine, met her teacher and found out that she sits next to our neighbor!  I was very glad she knew someone, maybe more for my sake than hers.  It was a great start to the year and she is very excited to go back.  Here are the memorable moments.
Ups
1. Caroline asking me to leave her classroom.  Apparently I'm more attached than she is.
2. After asking Caroline if school was as fun as she thought it would be she said, "Well not as fun as I thought but still good."
3. Keeping my composure and not balling like I thought I would, although I was wiping my eyes a bit.
4. Seeing how much the teachers seem to genuinely like what they do, but it was just the first day.
Downs
1. Caroline getting lost after school because she didn't hear her number called to be picked up and me balling like a baby in the office b/c they couldn't find my child.  Awful.  She will now ALWAYS have a buddy with her b/c I will be carpooling with our neighbor, strength in numbers right?
2. Listening to the teachers talk for WAY too long in the morning and trying to keep Graham entertained.
3. Not having Caroline around to keep Graham from dumping everything in our filing cabinet on the floor.

All ready to go.  She's adorable, but is in a weird smiling phase.  

Waiting to be let in to school.  I still can't believe she's in school!  All I can say is watch out world!
