Olivia started the first grade in her new favorite shoes, favorite headband and her new Barbie backpack. Not much fun picking out an outfit when you have to wear a uniform. (I love uniforms though.) She went in with confidence which is the complete opposite from last year. Her teacher is adorable and is so positive. Today she was wearing a bright pink wrap dress and opened the door to the classroom singing. I'm sure Olivia is thrilled.
I was talking with Olivia about the first day of school and I said, "Your teacher seems like a really happy lady."
Olivia replied, "Yes, but if you get on the "boo hoo" face then you have to go to another class and do work and miss recess. The "uh-oh" face isn't as bad. You just have to miss a little of recess."
Glad she got the rules down.
The mind of a little almost 6 year old always amazes me. We were reading scriptures the other night in Helaman. Olivia is always trying to get her bad guys and good guys straight. She asked, "What is the name of the bad guy again?"
"Seantum," Joey told her.
She sort of laughed and said, "Well, that's kind of a nice sounding name for a bad guy."
Today went by so fast with Olivia at school and today I am really noticing her absence and I miss her. It's so quiet around here.

Oliva looks so big in her pictures,gosh where does the time get off to? I am glad she enjoyed her first day of school. wow first grade and school all day. I bet it is kind of nice to not have to interrupt something you started to have to go and get her after only a couple of hours.but then kind of sad to because she is gone all day.
So did she get into downtown?
