Parents, a princess and a pirate

So..Kylie starts 1st grade tomorrow.  We've both a little emotional about it.  She was crying some at bedtime tonight, mainly just nervous.  I was crying a little on the patio after putting her down, mainly  just thinking about how fast these nearly 7 years have gone. 

We met her teacher this afternoon, Mrs. Syberg.  She is young and very pretty.  She is also expecting her first baby in December so will be out for a month or two this winter.  Mrs. Syberg let Kylie pick her desk as well.  After a few tries, she settled on one by the teachers desk.  Kylie's day was made when not only is her BFF, Lindsey, in her class but they picked desks next to each other.  Hopefully they don't talk too much. 

Her dress is laid out with her new laces shoes.  She's nervous about wearing those shoes because she doesn't want them to come un-tied and then not be able to tie them herself.  She can tie her shoes but it takes time and she gets frustrated.   But I also told Kylie that I didn't pay $44 for fancy Twinkle Toe shoes if she wasn't going to wear them.  So we'll double knot them and see how it goes.

Kylie is going to have a blast in first grade and it's going to be fun to watch her.
