The week before, we met with her new teacher, Mrs. Park, to run through a few tests to see what Fynn already knows--she passed with flying colors! 'Though she was a little timid to meet her teacher, she was ecstatic over the fun kitchen to play with in her classroom and the presence of a few class pets. And what's not to love about her new rainbow-colored, leopard-print backpack she picked out all by herself (it's about as big as she is!)?
When the big day arrived, we got her properly coiffed, dressed in her adorable, new clothes and her princess, gold shoes. Mom made her contain her enthusiasm long enough to shoot a few pics and we were off to the bus stop! She couldn't wait to climb onto that bus (and barely could stretch her little legs from one step to the next)! I then ran home, jumped in the car and headed over to the school to capture her getting ready to start her first day. She wasn't too sure she was ready for all this hoopla as she watched the other kiddos line up against the wall, but fell in with them after a little nudging from Mom. And before I knew it...she was waving good-bye and disappearing through the glass door. I peeped in the classroom window for a minute to make sure she was going to survive (or maybe, ahem, to make sure I was going to survive), saw her getting comfortable and tore myself away from the building. My heart clenched as I made my way to the car, and a few tears escaped...I am going to miss my little shadow, I can't believe this day has finally come...
