Brief Aside- In Baltimore Country the kindergartners have a staggered start. Tuesday is a half day with parents, Wednesday is a half day alone, and Thursday is a full day (the first REAL day in my opinion).
Evie and I had the house to ourselves Monday night and Tuesday morning as the boys were still in Cincy. It was nice to have a little quiet time together before her big day. For weeks everyone has been asking if Evie is ready, excited, nervous. The same for me. I am definitely not sad or nervous. We've been home together for 6 years; I am ready for a change! Evie didn't seem one way or the other. She is definitely eager to tell her brother she is going to Kindergarten .
We are excited about Evie's teacher this year, Mrs. Sugarman. She's been there a long time and is apparently "the one" parents want. Score.
Tuesday was the day I was worried about the most; Evie is typically clingy when I am in the room with her. This held true a little. Mrs. Sugarman did a great job of having the kids on the carpet with her while parents sat at the tables. Today's school day was brief and pretty uneventful other than our first walk to school with our friends Clara and Niki.

| Obligatory First Day of School Picture |
Evie missed the point of a BACKpack and walking to school WITH friends. She looks a girl on a mission.
Still just holding her BACKpack, but improving on the obligatory first day picture smile.
Half day #1 over! And the girls are outta there! (Notice improvement with one strap on and walking WITH Clara now)
Full day #1! It's time to really fly from the nest today. Backpack fully on and Mom's first lunch of the year.

And so begins our 13 years of living based on public school schedule. Looking forward to a fun year at Hillcrest Elementary, home of the Hedgehogs! (Best mascot ever)
