Caitlyn was so excited to get everything ready for school on Sunday night. She helped me pack her lunch. She was a little nervous and seemed to calm down a lot after Keith gave her a blessing. It also gave me a lot of comfort. I'm so grateful to know that our Heavenly Father loves Caitlyn and will watch over her when I can't.
Monday morning Catilyn woke up so excited to go to school. She was running around the house telling me to hurry and she would be waiting in the car.
She wanted to take a picture with Keith because it was his first day of school again also.
I can't believe how grown up she is looking. I still can't believe she is in first grade.
Caitlyn started at a new school this year. We applied to some charter schools and she ended up getting into one of them, but we just didn't get feel good about it. It was so hard to turn down, but we felt very strongly that it wasn't right for her. Caitlyn made a really good friend in Kindergarten that told us about another school and we applied for a permit. It isn't a charter, but it is supposed to be a great school. We found out a few days before school that she got in and we felt great about it. She was disappointed that she wasn't in the same class as her friend, but she was so great about having a good attitude. This school is huge, she even has her own locker.
We met her teacher a few times before school and I love her. She is awesome with teaching philosophies that I just love. Caitlyn was all smiles until we pulled up to the school on Monday. All of the sudden she got really nervous and said her stomach hurt. I took her in the class and she looked terrified. She was nervous about not knowing any of the kids. It was so hard to leave her looking so nervous. I had a hard day because I was worried about her all day. When I picked her up from school she was all smiles and said she loved it. We have all had better days now that we know she loves school. I still miss her, but I know she is happy and that makes all the difference.

Where is she going now? So happy for you! I know you were stressed about finding just the right fit for her. It really does make all the difference though.
yea, the pics of wyatt, i dont think he is what you thought he might be. and cate looks grate! ;D
Your kids are getting so big! A locker?! no wonder you were freaked out. I didn't have a locker until Junior High, for crying out loud!:) Where is she going? Glad you found a good fit for her. We are feeling the same way about Nixon's new school. Sometime's it's a bonus that he barely notices other kids. At least he wasn't nervous his old friends weren't there!:)
