Kindergarten Day 2

It was quite unbelievable...

Last night, Lilly chose clothes to wear for day 2 of kindergarten. We took them out of the closet and placed them on her trunk in preparation for morning. Around 6:30am, Lilly crawled next to me in bed- all dressed for school. This is really quite remarkable considering Lilly's love of sleeping in. She was wide-eyed and ready to go. Part of the delight for today is that Lilly gets to be "class captain." This means she is the only child that gets to have show-and-tell today, gets to sit in a special chair and perform special tasks such as being the line leader, turning on lights- you get the idea. She also gets to take ice cream sandwiches for her birthday treat- very exciting. So, in other words, today is Lilly's big day.

Lilly also chose to wear her Hannah watch today. This cupcake watched belonged to our beloved Hannah; Hannah's parents gave it to Lilly for her birthday. Lilly cherishes it, as you can imagine.
Here she is showing off her watch and wearing the "show-and-tell" bag with her treasures inside (mini Toto stuffed animal and mini K-State Wildcat toy)

It's so refreshing to see our otherwise shy Lilly so eager to participate in school.

Let's hope this sets the trend for the year... or the next 16 grades she has to complete. :)
