You can kiss your family good-bye and put miles between you, but at the same time you carry them with you in your heart, your mind, your stomach, because you do not just live in a world, but a world lives in you.

Kelsey's First Day of School

Our little girl went to school today. And she was so excited to be such a big girl. She talked about how she was going to be a good listener and play nice with her friends. Grandma and Grandpa Jackson came over to cheer us on as we left for school. We got to school and they opened the doors at 9:00. We dropped Asher off first. He went right in, put his bag on his peg and went to play with the toys...a complete pro!! Then, Kelsey walked us to her class...all the way at the end of the hall. She found Mrs. Pam's Ponies and ran right in to her class. We put our bag on the peg. She ran to Mrs. Tera and gave her a big hug. She ran to Mrs. Pam...waited for her to finish talking to another child (SHOCKER!!)...and then gave her a big hug as well. After that, she ran to the toy bins and pulled out the magnetic dolls that you can dress with different clothes. Bo and I had to BEG for kisses good-bye, but I guess that's better than having them pull her off our legs crying. The whole process took 10 minutes. She was such a big girl and we are so proud of her and excited for her. I can't wait to pick her up and see how her day went. Enjoy her school pictures.

  1. Don't ever change Kelsey's hairstyle. Ever. Too cute.

    So glad she was excited for her first day of school, and it looks like she's in great hands, although they're not yours. I hope her first day went better than great, and I can't wait to hear all about it!
