We put on her uniform and giggled with excitement. Then, as a family, we walked together to her brand new school, allowing Audrey to walk just a little bit ahead of us. She is, after all, a big girl now.
I smiled as I observed her huge grin and eyes filled with a hint of apprehension.
Today was Audrey’s first day of Kindergarten. I still can’t believe how quickly time has passed. It feels like just yesterday she was learning how to crawl.
I admit, I keep glancing at the clock, anticipating my drive to pick her up. I am looking forward to hearing all about her first day.
I have to tell you, when we first put on her uniform, I had a tear in my eye. She just looked so darling….so grown up.
I purchased her school uniforms at Lands’ End. It was my first time purchasing anything from Lands’ End, and I am VERY impressed with their quality.
And speaking of Lands’ End, tomorrow we are having a Back-To-School Lands’ End Twitter Party.
There will be experts on hand, as well as some fun mingling. We are going to be asking you some questions about your elementary school days, quizzing you about back to school products you can find at Lands’ End and offering you chances to win Lands’ End backpacks, lunch packs and gift cards.
The fun starts tomorrow night at 7:00 pm Central (that is 8 pm Eastern and 5 pm Pacific). Be sure to use the hashtag #landsend.
It will be a lot of fun. I do hope that you will be able to join us. Don’t forget to RSVP.

She DOES look darling. More schools should require school uniforms, I think (and not just because they’re exceptionally cute).
I hope her first day was absolutely wonderful. 🙂
She looks incredibly adorable!! 🙂
If you don’t mind, would you check out my newest blog post & also spread the word to others that you believe would be interested (family, grandparents, friends, other bloggers). http://jerricapuck.blogspot.com/2009/08/anyone-need-santa-letters.html
I’d appreciate it.
Those are some of the cutest first day pictures I think I’ve seen. I am so glad we still have two weeks before school starts though. I’m not ready for my baby to go to school and for my big boy to be a second grader.
Oh she looks soo cute!!
She looks too cute! I remember my uniform days at Catholic school!
Thanks for sharing her first day with us!
She looks adorable! The uniform is super cute too
Oh, she looks so pretty in her uniform! We homeschool so our kids have never worn uniforms but I think they’re adorable!
It’s that time of year again. Can’t believe how fast the summer flew by. We like Land’s End too. I wanted to let you know about our weekly challenge called Change The World Wednesday’s that you and your readers may be interested in participating. It is good for us, the planet and setting a good example for our children. Let me know & we would be glad to have you. This weeks challenge. http://livesmartbook.blogspot.com/2009/08/recycling-made-easy-with-earth911com.html
Happy first day of kindergarten! We had that excitement last Monday. Yup, it’s been over a week and I still smile when I see my son in his uniform. My feelings are all over the place with beaming pride for my college student and my kindergartner.
We have a first day coming up. My daughter starts 4K(pre-kindergarten) in the public schools. No uniforms for us.
Hope she had a great day! She looks so sweet…
A-d-o-r-a-b-l-e!!! 🙂
Awww… she looks soooooooooooo precious!!! I can’t get over it.
I’m so jealous that you get to dress her in Lands’ End uniforms. Only the private schools around here wear uniforms, and since my girls will be going to public school, they won’t get to wear them.
I think uniforms are the BEST idea and I wish all schools would use them.
