Our Big Kindergartner

We officially entered a new chapter in our life yesterday - we entered the school years!  Quinn popped out of bed yesterday morning and was excited to go to school.

Before heading to school, Quinn asked for "special letter pancakes" for breakfast.  She wanted JHE pancakes - which stands for John Harris Elementary.

We couldn't leave Sullivan out.  She requested Mickey Mouse pancakes - not my finest set of Mickey Mouse pancakes ever made, but that's okay.  They still tasted great!

At our house, very special breakfasts are celebrated with a picnic.  The girls spread out their blankets on our bedroom floor and eat their pancakes while watching cartoons (a rarity at our house).  The girls at their picnic breakfast - in Quinn's honor.

Quinn came home overjoyed and excited yesterday and again today.  She says that she really likes her teacher, Mrs. Mediger.  When asked what her favorite part of the day was yesterday, she said it was when Mrs. Mediger said they had no homework - that and the video they got to watch during quiet time.  :)

Her excitement and her enthusiasm for school makes me overjoyed.  It makes sending her to school much easier and really makes me question what I was so worried about it the first place!  We are all looking forward to a really great year!
