Natalie's 1st day of 1st grade!

Here is our daughter, an official 1st grader on the morning of her 1st day of school. She was so proud and very excited. Natalie practically bounced her way into my room at 6:05am and said, "Can I get dressed for school now?"
Sadly,both Nick and I were off at work the morning of her 1st day.... so she got the next best thing - Nannie and Poppy to walk her to the bus and wish her well. It's fun to think that 25 years ago, my mom walked me to my 1st day of 1st grade and now she gets to do it again with my daughter.
Notice how Sadie had to be part of it all! These our Natalie's friends and neighbors who are at her bus ride. First in line is Connor. He lives right next door to us and started 2nd grade. Next to Natalie on the other side is Ashlynn and she is also a 1st grader. Of course, we have Sadie and Isabella (Ashlynn's sister) joining the picture. The end of day one... full of smiles. She was actually disappointed that she didn't have homework on the first day.

Finally, mom gets some love from her very favorite 1st grader!
Today... on Natalie's 2nd day of school, we learned that her class has a class bear. This the bear goes home with one student every weekend to spend with the student and their families and Mrs. Morris picks a student with great behavior to take the bear home. We are SUPER proud to share that Natalie brought the bear home with her today!
(side note... Natalie accidentally left the bear on the bus, so the bear is spending the weekend at the Queensbury bus garage.)
