queen b is a kindergartner

It is official. My little queen b is indeed a kindergartner, and she is so excited about it! She was ready to head out the door by 7:30 this morning... even though her classroom doors don't open until 7:50 and her school is simply a quick walk across the street! Since she was ready to go so bright and early, we had plenty of time for some photos. Luckily, Berkley didn't mind at all and was ready to pose. Ready to head off to school...
Wearing a brand new, very fancy, backpack! (I think she could fit Brenner in it if she wanted too!)
And of course, completing her back-to-school outfit with some very stylish shoes. (She insisted I take a picture of them!)
We then had to take some family pics of course, starting with Beckham. He was really excited for Berkley.
Next was mommy's turn...and look, no tears!
Daddy stepped in for a turn with his favorite kindergartner too!
Finally it was time to head to school!!! Berkley took off, with Beckham right beside her.
That was short-lived, however, because my little queen b insisted that she be the first one. She wanted us to follow her!
Berkley quickly found one of her great friends, Lily. They are not in the same class, but their rooms are next door to each other.
As soon as the bell rang signaling that the students could go into their classrooms, Berkley took off. (And of course, we followed!) She had already gotten to visit her classroom on Meet the Teacher Night, so she knew exactly where to go and exactly what to do.
Once she got all of her things situated, we helped her put on her name tag. This was it...she was officially a kindergartner...and she definitely looked the part!
Amazingly enough, there were no tears shed by anyone. Berkley was so excited and completely ready to be starting Kindergarten. And, because she was so excited and content, I believed that I needed to feel the same way! I am so proud of her and know that she will have a terrific year.

Oh Melanie! I can't believe Berkley is in Kindergarten! Who is her teacher? I totally forgot to ask Mom! Your kids are just precious and I love seeing pictures of them and hearing all about them on your blog!
