Caroline started her first day of kindergarten today. We've both been very excited about her going to "big girl" school. (Maybe I'm hoping to re-live my student days through her?!) There were many mothers there that were shedding tears when dropping off their children, so maybe I should feel a little guilty for being so excited... I mean I laid out her clothes in a perfect arrangement the night before, for crying out loud!! The only problem we had was when she noticed that most of the other kids brought their nap mats with them - the instructions from the teacher clearly stated that they wouldn't need the mats until next week, so I didn't send hers. She freaked out a little but was easily calmed down when the teacher reassured her that she wouldn't need it. It's scary how much that little girl's personality is like mine...poor thing. Here are some photos from the big day...

Proof of my OCD/excitement - Caroline was all for this too!
Ready to go!

Her first day of school was "awesome," and she had "the best time ever." She loves her teacher and she loves being in kindergarten! I'm happy that she's happy! Now, bring on the homework!
