First Day of First Grade

Today was Marina's first day of school. I can't believe she's in first grade! This time was less traumatic than last year. This is the second year at her elementary school and I've met her teacher several times. Marina seemed quite excited. The kids lined up shortly after we arrived. She happily talked to one of her friends from kindergarten while they waited for everyone to gather. Every once in a while she waved to me. At one point she called out, "I love you, Mommy." Won't that melt a mother's heart?

When I picked her up after school, she was in a great mood. She didn't have a whole lot to say about her day. Apparently her teacher gave her Skittles for good behavior. Good to hear. I asked if she had some of her kindergarten friends in her class. "And new friends too!" she responded enthusiastically. So looks like we're off to a good start this year.
