Savannah's first day of Kindergarten

I know it has been a week since I told you I would let you know how Savannah's first day of school went but it has been ridiculously crazy lately. Anyway, as you can see from the pictures, she was sleeping soundly when it was time to wake up. She then decided to crawl under her covers and try to hide from us. Once we got her up, she put her clothes on by herself and Mommy and Daddy helped her fix her hair and brush her teeth. We all took her to school and walked her into her new classroom. She was doing pretty good. She did not want to give the song she had written to her teacher herself. She wanted Mommy to give it to Mrs. Pruett. She decided to be shy again. After giving it to her teacher, it was time for us to go and let Savannah stay and have her first day of school. I will admit, it wasn't the easiest thing in the world but I did pretty good. No crying (at the school). Actually, I was fine until I listened to my cell phone messages. I had received a message from a friend named Jay who called to tell Savannah to have an awesome day and to let me know he was already praying for me that morning. It's sooo cool to have awesome Christian friends that call to encourage you! Anyway, I go to pick her up that afternoon not knowing what to expect. Well...she almost ran to the car with the biggest grin on her face. She got in her carseat and I asked her how her day was. She said, "It was GREAT!!!" As a mom, there were no better words in the entire world at that moment. My baby had had a GREAT day on her first day of school. The world was perfect at that moment and I could actually breath! God is sooo good. He put her with the teacher that fit her perfectly and she already has a great new friend named Emmy. She has also started eating school food instead of us making her a lunch from home each day. She is big time! One thing that was REALLY funny was that I asked her about playing on the playground. She said, "No. I just sat in the shade b/c it was too hot!!!" She said her teacher told her she could go play b/c she wasn't in trouble and she told her no thank you. She was just fine in the shade. Only my Nannah! She is definitely like her mother when it comes to getting up in the morning. The second picture below should show how well she gets up. Pray that she continues to love going to school each day and that she will gain lots of friends in her class.
