Stephanie's First Day of Kindergarten

I can't believe it's finally here, Steph's first day of school! She is really enjoying making new friends. I asked her what she likes about kindergarten and she said learning so she can get smart.

She was upset the first week because she couldn't take a nap, ugh! For those of you who know her and know what a struggle it was for her to take naps at daycare, I could have screamed.

Anyway I'll report back in a few weeks and let you know how it is going.
