Someone found Mama's eye shadow. 
 
 
So my baby girl has been in Kindergarten for exactly 37 days (at least I think that's what she said earlier today, and she is keeping record).  She is still loving it in a pretty big way which makes me very happy.  We had our first ever parent-teacher conference and she brought home her first ever report card.  It seems my smarty-pants girl is reading at a third grade level, and is above grade level in math as well. I can't really say I'm overly surprised but I'm still super proud of my baby girl.  So the teacher has started giving her some first grade work and put her in an accelerated reading group.  Mrs. Pfister also said that she was a very sweet girl who is "a joy to have in class" and "adds many insightful comments to our discussions".  This makes me every bit as proud as the great grades =) 
 
She comes home every day singing some new little song or another, or saying something new in French.  She's made some sweet little friends, and she's been on her very first bus-ride to her first ever field trip to watch a Winnie-the-Pooh play at the Kentucky Center for the Arts.  She brought home her first "bug"from school a couple weeks ago.  She ran a fever of 103.6 and was diagnosed with Strep, but she's all better now.  And most recently we went to her first school skating party.  She was pretty cute trying to learn to skate.  She fell quite a few times but got right back up and by the end of the night she was managing on her own without holding my hand or using the wall for support.  She had so much fun, she can't wait for the next skating party. 
 
 
 
 



Oh, and one more recent development that is totally unrelated to school.  She is cutting a new lower molar.  I had no idea they did that at this age!

Oh that first picture is a real beauty. And so many proud Mama moments, that's for sure. She's wayyyy ahead of the game, that one! :)
Love that she's counting her school days too! That's awesome! I get the feeling she loves school.
