Amelia's 1st Day of Kindergarten

How did Amelia go from a newborn baby to a Kindergarten so quickly? On August 24, 2009 Amelia started Kindergarten. We were so proud of her! Frank, Elliott and I took her into class because on the first day they allow you to stay with the the kids to get them situated and help them feel comfortable. I showed Amelia where she sat and where to put her backpack. After that she turned to me and said "OK, you can go now" then she went up to Frank and said "I love you Daddy, you can go now". She kicked us out! All the other Parents got to stay for a little while and we had to leave the class and spy on her through the window! Frank said, "Well we wanted a strong confident girl and we got one".

I was so proud of her and at the same time my heart broke a little. The reality set in that my baby is growing up. The past 5 years have gone by so fast. Amelia's teacher's name is Mrs. Padilla and she is great. Amelia we love you and we are looking forward to a great Kindergarten year with you!

Frank dealt with Amelia starting Kinder by buying a 2008 Red Mercedes Benz. He went from the school to the lot to buy it. Amelia told him she wanted a red car so that is what he got. So now she thinks her Daddy bought her a red car for starting Kindergarten. According to Amelia that is her car. Geez, if she thinks she got a Mercedes for starting Kinder what is she going to expect when she starts High School!
