Serafina's first day of 4th grade

Serafina went back to school today.  She was not happy about having to go back and she was feeling sad about not having any of her close friends in class with her.  She has Leo's fourth grade teacher, Mrs. Chang, who will be so good for her this year.  

Despite her reservations, she put on her first day of school outfit and a smile.  

 I'm really proud of her for setting aside any negative feelings and making the best of it.
 Heading to school with dad and a ton of school supplies.
 She was happy to see Millie.
 And Sunny and Cleo.
 She's sad not to be in class with them but they had lunch together.
 Here she is with her teacher, Mrs. Chang.  Yes, she's as tall as her teacher.
 Since she had a little growth spurt this summer and it's been a while since people have seen her, Serafina got a lot of "you're so tall" comments.  She doesn't like them.  She's becoming a bit self-conscious about her height but I told her I had the opposite problem at her age and was one of the shortest in my class.

She knows plenty of people in her class, including tiny little Nora.  She's super sweet.
 Trying to stay positive when the reality of school kicks in.
 She's also friendly with her tablemate Rhea.
