Scout's First Day of First Grade--Aug. 19, 2014

I think you can hear it now...
"C'mon, c'mon, we're going to be late! Let's get your shoes on!"

The telltale morning call of the Harpers...

The backpack & sign await the lovely lady

Allrighty, time to get the helmet on, and dad will carry your backpack

Scootin' to school!

A quick little story about bedtime the night before school... It's hard to fall asleep when there's all that energy, right? So Scout's lying awake and calls out, "MOM! I can't remember my new teacher's name!" and I said, "It's Mrs. Hanson. You know? She shook your HAND, so she's Mrs. HANDson. Mrs. HANDson shook your HAND."  Okay, mom, okay.

Flash forward to this morning, as she's walking down the stairs, I say good morning & then I ask, "What's your teacher's name?" And she confidently says, "Mrs. Wood!" and I wave my hand to her, and then she pauses and says, "Oh, MRS. HANSON!!!"

So cute, this girl. Never have to worry about her being kind and sweet, she's just full of the innocence and love we all seem to have lost long ago... Can't wait to go retrieve her in a minute and find out how it all wen.
