Big Kid on Campus

I always love the first day of school! It is the only day that I don't have to drag KyLee from her bed on a school day. KyLee was up and ready to go today at 6:00 am. She usually gets up around 7:00-7:30 so I was suprised when she came downstaris and she was all dressed ready to go. Today was her first day (again :>) at a brand new school. Carolyn S. Reedom Elementary opened this year and so KyLee was very excited to meet a whole bunch of new kids, who, in return were meeting new kids. When we arrived to the school and was waiting for the opening ceremonies to begin, KyLee and I realized that our next door neighbor, Ryan was in her class, along with Sadie and Kersey who are in her primary class at church. I was glad to see that she would know someone at recess and also at lunch. It helped put the my mind at ease. KyLee makes friends so easily that in no time I will be hearing about this person and that person........

The opening ceremonies for the school were very nice. The principal and the Dr. Reedom, who the school is named after, were conducting this special day. They gave a brief review on how things will work in her new school. They also taught the kids who to be quite in a moments notice and finished by reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. Once the ceremony was completed each child k-5 walked through the doors and shook the principal hand along with the Dr. Reedom. I thought this was pretty cool. The parents were not allowed to follow the kids into the school. The principal wanted the teachers to have all the time necessary to get their classes started. I was kind of sad, but I thought it was pretty neat too. My baby is no more a baby. I was just glad she wanted me around while the opening ceremonies were going on. She is now the big kid on campus.
