once upon a time...There was a little girl names Caroline. She had a lot of energy and was very brave. Her mom calls her Crazy but other people think she is very smart. You always know how Caroline is feeling because she always lets you know. She will never know a life without her little sister and side kick Sally Jane by her side. One day in September she got to go to school for the first time. She was very excited and picked out her own dress. She told her mom how she wanted to wear her hair even though she has never cared about that before. She put a notebook in her backpack and two Polly Pockets in case she needed them. She was excited to go to school and was not scared. She did want to hold her mom's hand while they walked in though, which she rarely ever does. Caroline walked right into her classroom and sat down to play with playdough. She brought her teacher a plastic pineapple filled with gum and a big pink bow, she handed it to her and then ran to play. During story time Caroline ran around the room and didn't want to sit. She got out her Polly Pockets and notebook. It was hard for her to sit still. Her Mom thought she was crazy but her teacher thought she was excited. Sometimes Caroline growls at other kids and sometimes she is very sweet, her first day of school she did a little of both. Caroline is excited to go to school but will miss her Sally Jane, she even asked her if she was going to be OK. Sally Jane will be fine, Mom will be fine and Caroline will take lots of notes in her notebook and hopefully not do too much growling.
The End!

how fun for her! sounds like an eventful morning. kind of quiet with just one home. Riley started all-day first grade and the house is definitely quieter...kind of sad, but he loves school. emma starts back to preschool mwf on monday.
Such a cute story about Sally Jane. I loved the hair! Isn't it amazing how much personality such a little person can have. My almost 3 year old started preschool this week also. It's so fun to see her grow and become more independent.
(PS. I finally have my own blog)
Caroline is a doll! Love that she wanted her hair in her own way and she picked out her dress! So sweet that she was thinking about Sally Jane. Of course mom and SJ will be just fine!
Now that's my Caroline! She is going to be just fine, and the kids are going to love her. I love that she wanted her hair in a certain way, and it turned out so cute. Caroline is definitely her own person and will light the world on fire, just like you did!
Such a funny little girl. She sounds like mine. Carter gets to go to his first day of preschool today, and I am sure he will growl, and be sweet, and run when he is supposed to sit too.
What an exciting day for her and for you and your first alone moments with your Sally Jane.
Very fun post, Kristi. Way to capture the first day for Caroline!
I am so happy for her! Sounds like a fun day to me!
Also, I nominated you for the Great tip award on my blog...check it out. Glad to see you are getting your blog groove back:)
too cute.. love the hair- she sounds like she takes after her mom! (okay not the hair) but her creativity!
Cute as can be. My little Anna went to kindergarten this week too.
I love this story! And I am so glad that Caroline has a teacher who understands that running around and growling are just symptoms of excitement and maybe being a little bit overwhelmed. I'm sure it will be a good experience for everyone!
What a cute way to post about Sally jane's first day of school. She's so cute! Did you make her backpack - really cute, it seems to fit her little personality perfectly!
Oh our little Caroline's going to school! Can't believe she's so old! Love that little growly voice! I know you'll miss her.
You gotta love that Sweet Caroline. That girl is going to go places!! Way cute hair/outfit/bag/etc. Enjoy your one on one time with SJ. (I too will be devestated if AK drops the K!!!)
my oldest dd had that same backpack when she started kindergarten! cute story!
We've had the 3 ponytail days as well, and I just think it's cute how they like to experiment. Loved her dress-I wish they had it in size 8 though. How fun to feel so big!
What vivid colours! So cheery! I hope C thrives at school - I'm sure she will. And bless her concern for SJ. What a lucky teacher to have C in her class, with such a creative mummy and her fabby ideas for lots of trinkety little presents!!
I love it! I have a "growler" too. Isn't that an interesting quirk?
I love her hair! That is fabulous! And, the backpack is great - where did you find it?
She is so cute! Love the story!
A story worthy of publication. And the hairdo was an added bonus!
This is a very cute post, it's wonderful that Caroline is so excited about school and that she wasn't scared. Fortunately preschool teachers specialize in dealing (I mean accommodating) excited kids who can't sit still yet, that way their moms don't have to worry.
