First day of school

Allison has been eager for school. She was so eager, in fact, that she was up at 5:50, 6:10, and 6:20 standing at her father's bedside asking him if it were time yet.

Eventually it was time. Joe took her. Everyone knows I would cry and then Allison would probably cry and we don't need that. At any rate, he says she was a little apprehensive but her teacher put her at ease and she was just fine. No tears from anyone.

Joe took a couple of pictures. This one is in front of our house. Aren't her shoes just fabulous? She loves them. Not only that, but she can almost tie them.




















And another in front of the school itself. We forgot to drop off her supplies ahead of time, so she's a little hunkered down. Her backpack won't normally be quite so heavy.

Her smile tells you exactly how she feels about going to school.
