Ridgeway Elementary had their open house this evening. Our big First Grader was so excited to go and see her friends again! Mrs. Hanney, Laura’s classroom teacher, and her gym teacher both commented on all her missing teeth. After Laura and John sorted school supplies into the appropriate piles, we headed outside for the popsicle party and time on the playground. It was great to see everyone and Laura said that she can’t wait until school starts on Thursday. She’s very excited to be one of the “big kids” in her classroom.
On a funny side note, we talked to the mom of one of the girls who came to Laura’s sleepover party. Her daughter came home from Laura’s party and said, “Mom! I want to have a sleepover party when I turn 7. I’m not sure I can wait though. Can we just have one now?” Amy said, “Hannah, did you have a good time at Laura’s party?” Hannah yelled, “YES!” Amy said to us last night, “Thanks for ruining the simple 1 1/2 hour birthday party for everyone!” Then, Amy cracked a big smile and we all got a good laugh. At least I know Laura’s birthday was a great one!
