What a difference a year makes.
Last year, we had tears. This year, despite the rain and chaos of getting dropped off in the gym, Molly was nothing but excited for her first day of school. Last year, we had numerous park dates and meet and greets with other Kindergarten kids and teachers. This year, I had no clue who was going to be in her class and still haven't met the teacher. Ha!
I took a half day off work today and told Molly I'd pick her up at 3:30 with the rest of the kids ... she told me not to worry about it because she wanted to see her after care friends. What's this? I'm actually getting vacation time back?
Here's the first grader:

I'm sure this year will come with ups and downs, but for now, it's feeling, as Molly would say, "easy, peasy."
I might add that her friend Larry was concerned that she might be scared again (like last year) and he wanted to be there for her.
