Mariyah's 1st day of Kindergarten

Mariyah was so excited for school today that she didn't go to bed until 11 last night and was wide awake at 7 am saying mom I am ready for school:). I thought for sure since she went to be so late that she would be tired when I woke her up this morning but she was up and ready to go.

*Joshua's mom is visiting from Alaska so I think that's why Mariyah wanted to stay up late and I didn't mind because Joshua took him mom to the airport at 4 am this morning and I know Mariyah wanted to spend time with her before Grandma left*

She picked out her adorable blue outfit that Grandma bought her. She totally looks like a school girl in her skirt and sweater. I knew it would be too hot for the sweater but she got herself ready and after we took the pictures outside she said I am going to take my sweater off because it's too hot. Glad she made the choice on her own....because mom's don't always know what's best lol according to kids.

She was so happy this morning and we got to school 20 minutes early and she had fun playing on the playground and playing with lots of fun friends. When it was time she lined up with her class and then she was on her way to kindergarten.

I am so excited for her and she is so excited for school. Kindergarten is all day and so we bought her a lunch box and she is all ready to eat lunch at school and I am sure she will have a wonderful 1st day.

She was all about posing this morning
