McKinley is in Kindergarten!!!!

That's right, McKinley started Kindergarten TODAY! I am now officially old, my baby has now started school. I can not believe that she is old enough to start school!
McKinley was soooo excited to go to school, and not just any school, but the same school as her big sister! McKinley and I spent quite a bit of time last night going through her school clothes to find that PERFECT outfit for the first day. When I got the girls up to start getting ready for school McKinley double checked with me that today was in fact the day that she would go to school, it was too cute.
After getting ready we grabbed the girls backpacks and headed to the car. On the drive to the school I asked McKinley if she was still excited to go to school and she said yes, but that she was a little nervous too.
When we got to the school we dropped Shaylie off at her class and then McKinley lead the way to her classroom (which just happens to be right around the corner from Shaylie). We were one of the first there but McKinley walked in and went right to work. She put her backpack away and her homework folder in the bin (complete with her first homework assignment finished), and went to find her seat.McKinley was excited that her teacher remembered her name and welcomed her to the class.

I was sad to leave my baby at school, and I have to admit I did cry a little (but not until I was in the car). I know she'll have a GREAT first day and that she will do wonderful this year, learn new things, and make new friends I just don't think that I was as ready for this BIG day as she was.
