A HUGE, HAPPY DAY!

Today was my first day of kindergarten...AND it is my birthday!  Mommy woke me up (REALLY EARLY) and sang to me.  Myla moved from her bed to the couch and laid there the whole morning.  I had a great breakfast and daddy stopped in from work to see me.  Mommy took my picture and then the three Douglas girls headed to Pleasant View Elementary School!!!  I wasn't a bit nervous and didn't even look back after I got out of the car!
It was a great  day at school!!  I wasn't a bit scared and didn't even look back after leaving the car!  I have two friends from my preschool class who are now in my kindergarten class!  My class got to look for the gingerbread man throughout the school.  We looked and looked and couldn't find him.  Then we found crumbs when we got back to our classroom.  The crumbs lead to the play refrigerator.  We FOUND the gingerbread man and we each got to take a bite of it!!!  It was my FAVORITE part of the day!
Lunch was great, too!  I sat with my class and ate all the food mommy packed for me.  I even told her I need a bigger peanut butter sandwich tomorrow!
Lots of people at school told me, "Happy Birthday!"  My class got to have big chocolate chip cookies for my birthday and I got to blow out a candle on my teacher's big pretend cake!  AND WE HAD RECESS!!  I love the playground and I even got to see more friends from preschool while I was on the playground!
Mommy thought I would be super tired when I came home.  However, as soon as I got in the car I was wound up...and so was Myla.  We have been playing very loudly for over an hour now and we are showing no signs of stopping!!!
The only other thing I remember from today is this...it is what my teacher says when we are supposed to get quiet...

"Wiggle, Wiggle, Wiggle

CLAP

Wiggle, Wiggle

put your hands in your lap!"

Mommy and Myla were sad today that I wasn't here, but I am proud to report that mommy only shed a couple of tears when she pulled out of the parking lot and got just a tad teary at the end of the day.  Myla is so tired from the change in her schedule that she is not sure whether she is coming or going, but I know both of them will be just fine!  And being SIX is just great!
