Big Milestone for Frances!

Frances hit a big milestone today and is officially a kindergarten student. As my poor friend and family know, we heavily debated whether to keep Frances at Opal one more year or have her start at Henry's school. We finally decided to "jump in" to the public school experience and are thankful that she got the same teacher that Henry had for kindergarten. When Henry was in her class I volunteered a lot with Frances in tow, and so thankfully she already knows the classroom and has declared she "loves Mrs Ford". Her first day went off in Frances style -- with energy and excitement and kindness. She reached out and made friends and offered to help other students within the first ten minutes. I am so proud of my little nugget and simply adore that little five year old heart. Probably her FAVORITE part of the day was riding the bus home with Henry. IT was pretty awesome to see them step off the bus together. On the walk home, Henry whispered all the "news" he got from Frances on the bus. Pretty funny.
