We went outside to watch Madelyn's bus to make sure we knew which one it was. Good thing we did too! If we had wanted to put her on it, she would have missed it! We didn't know this was it until it had picked up an older boy and gone on it's way! (Take note of Ben's look - "Is this her bus?") She will ride it tomorrow though.
When we got to school, Madelyn stood outside in a line of kindergarten and 1st graders until the school bell rang and then she led us to her classroom (which she learned at the Open House). Her teacher, Ms.H, met her in the hallway and they both happy to see each other.
The obligatory teacher/student picture... Ms.H seems to have a very organized and structured room, which I appreciate VERY much! She hit it off very well with Madelyn at the Open House too and that made the transition this morning much easier!
Madelyn signing her name on the attendance list.
We took Madelyn to school, but she got to ride home on the bus! And she came off with a smile! I was so excited to see her and hear all about her day!
Grandpa was also excited to greet her home for her first day of kindergarten. It was so special to have GaGa and Grandpa here for this special day!
When I asked Madelyn what her favorite part of the day was, her answer, "Recess time."

Honest to goodness, this post has me shedding some serious tears. I don't know why. Thanks so much for sharing the pics. I just can't believe Madelyn is in kindergarten. She is such a beautiful, sweet, smart, and funny little girl. Gosh, I miss you guys. Give her a BIIIIG kiss from Aunt Steph and tell her I miss her and am so proud of her. We should skype soon!!
Yea for Madelyn!! Aren't kindergarten teachers wonderful? (I wasn't one, so I can say that.)
A great new chapter for all of you. Fun, fun, fun!
WOW... I can't believe that Madelyn is already in Kindergarten. It seems like just the other day that Mike, Steph and I traveled up to Minn. to see her after she was born. I'm so excited for her - she's going to blow all those other kindergarteners out of the water, and she's going to make some great new friends. Keep us posted, just like you always do! Love and miss you guys! Oh, and give Mad a high five for me and tell her Aunt Christina said she rocked her first day of kindergarten!!
Oh, this was such a precious post! Way to go, Madelyn!! So sweet that Gaga and Grandpa were able to share this special time. (Yes, as a matter of fact, I'm green with envy!! :)

She looks so little coming off that bus ! And let me say an "Amen, sister." Recess was always my favorite too! What a cutie pie.
