Mia Starts 1st Grade

Mia started the 1st Grade at South Shades Crest Elementary yesterday. We have loved having her at SMCS the past 2 years, but with me quitting work and a new baby on the way, it was going to be an impossibility for her to go back this year.

She was pretty apprehensive and sad about leaving her school and friends and starting all over at a place MUCH bigger. But she LOVES it. A lot of prayer went into our decision about school for this year, so it was confirmation to us when she liked it that we were doing the right thing.

Averi cried when we dropped Mia off. She is definitely missing having her big sister around, but will be starting school and gymnastics in 3 weeks. Once she has her own things going on, she'll be fine. In the meantime, I am enjoying having some one on one time with her before Lila arrives.
