Back to School

Today was the first day of school, a day Anastasia had been anticipating for well over a week. She laid out her uniform last night and packed her backpack before going to bed. This morning, when it was time to go, she was all smiles.



She added a little lamb to her backpack, saying that he fit perfectly into the pocket on the side. As we left, we stopped at the front gate for one more picture before heading off.



Anastasia remembers the way to school very well. She led the way, giving Orlando directions on which way we needed to walk.



At school, we marched to her new classroom and Anastasia put her things into her new cubby. I added the two flowers she'd picked along the way.



Showing she was not going to have any qualms about her first day of school, she dove into the first activity with her buddy Carter, ignoring Orlando and me as we walked out of the room.
