The highly anticipated day arrives and they pose for pictures and prepare to say goodbye to Mom and Dad.

October 10, 2009: I had bought this a few years back for my son. Then I bought the second in the series "The Night Before First Grade." So naturally, I bought and sent this on to my bff's daughter as she started kindergarten this year. She loved it!
