My First Grader by pete

For the past three years, Jessie's been enrolled at a private daycare center. But today she began first grade at the local elementary school. She was very excited but also nervous too. Fortunately one of her close friends from her previous school is in her new class. That definitely helps ease the transition.

She lost her front tooth this weekend (on Saturday), and I just LOVE the cute gap-toothed stage! The other is JUST about ready to fall out too. I served corn on the cob for lunch today hoping it would pull it out...but nope she only took a small bite!!
