Mikaiya Starts Kindergarten!

Our baby girl officially started Kindergarten on Sept 1. We are so proud of her! She was so excited for her first day and especially excited that both mommy and daddy were going to walk her to school! Here she is waiting for it to be time to go:

It was a gorgeous day, so we had to do a few outdoor shots. Here she is looking cute on the deck:

And all ready to go with her new Tinkerbell back pack:

We don't have bus service since we are 3 blocks from the school, so this is the closest shot I get to her getting on the bus for the first time...she is RUNNING to school...as fast as she can! We could barely catch up!

And of course, what would the first day of school be without the standard shot outside the front of the school?

Here she is in her classroom, coloring in her name tag:

We are so incredibly proud of our little Mikaiya and the wonderful little girl she has turned into. She loves Kindergarten and is learning so much on a daily basis. She has made a lot of new friends too! I got the sweetest note from her teacher last week, telling me how she "adores" Mikaiya, that she is "sweet and kind" and "always wants to help others". These are some of the best qualities I could ever imagine being told that my child possesses. I consider it my responsibility that she keeps these qualities all through the rest of her life! What lucky parents we are to have such a great child in our lives!
