Ok, today was the BIG DAY! The first day of first grade for Maddie. She popped out of bed when our alarm went off in our room not hers. It was 6:30. She put on her uniform and the skirt is too big but she would not let me tighten the buttons. There are two settings. It was bedlam when we reached the school with all the parents getting their chicks settled. She was pretty quiet when I left I couldn't tell what she was thinking. I will find out in a few minutes how her day went. There are 22 kids in her class and they all looked soooo cute in their uniforms this morning. We met her teacher yesterday and really liked her. First grade is a big step from Kindergarten. She will have spelling tests and homework. It takes two of us to keep up, I don't know how people do it with more than one child.
