Cooper begins Kindergarten

Let's take a walk down memory lane. Cooper's babysitter at the time, Ms. Dena, took Cooper & "little" Chad to a program called Morning Out for Parents - which was 1 day a week for a couple of hours in the morning.



This is Cooper in 2005 on her first day of MOP.

Then Ms. Dena took Cooper and "little" Chad to Preschool - 2 days a week in the mornings.



This is Cooper in 2006 on her first day of 2 day Preschool.

Then mommy had Campbell and decided to stay home, so I took Cooper to everyday, afternoon Preschool.



This is Cooper in 2007 on her first day of everyday-afternoon Preschool.

Now here we are today. Kindergarten is here. My little baby girl has joined the ranks of all day - everyday Kindergarten.



Here is Cooper. August 13, 2008 on her first day of Kindergarten.

We went to the school open house on August 12th to find out who her teacher was and what class she was in. She was excited to get Mrs. F as her teacher and she knows 5 other students in that class already. She is very happy. On the first day of school the parents were asked to attend for 2 hours. We got to see calendar time, music, PE, and story time. It was a good first day for everyone, and the first day was only a half day. So the second day was good as well. Cooper was tired when we picked her up, since it was all day. She really likes her PE teacher and I think she is ready to be Miss Independant. She already wants us to drop her at the door and she'd really prefer to ride the bus. Oh well, I guess I can only hold on for a little while longer.

She looks so cute-I can't believe how much she's already grown up from those first pictures. I am glad to hear she loves school and nothing wrong with independence. I have two that are pretty much just like that and they are certainly ready for school to start so they can see their friends again. Love ya,
