School Girl

*Disclaimer: Sentimental Mommy with lots of hormones wrote this.*

My baby girl is SO not my baby anymore. First thing when I woke her up this morning (she usually sleeps til 8:30-9:00, and school STARTS at 8:30, so it'll be an adjustment), she rolls over and says "My up now! My go to school now!" We scarfed down some breakfast and got ready. She was so excited!

Here we are with her loot. I didn't know David was taking a "pre-picture" picture... I was wiping the yogurt off of her cheek!

Wish this one wasn't blurry because her face is priceless!
But this one is good too. :) Makes me smile for tons of reasons. But reminds me of a pic of me on the porch with MY Mommy on a first day of preschool with my nap mat, etc. Love it.
Big girl LOVES her "lunch bag." Seriously, she is SO big, and I just can't love her enough. Julie will understand when I say I want to eat her.
Daddy came with us to drop her off. She didn't want to look at the camera, she wanted to focus on the front door to the church!
Heading down the hallway to her classroom. This isn't our church, but we've been up there several times before today, so she knew where to go.
She was FINE and excited, until she saw the other kids crying in her room. Can't say that I blame her for this face... she doesn't know those kids yet and they were ALL crying. Probably thought school was going to be torture by the sight! But we kissed her, left, and 2 minutes later got the report that she was GREAT and already playing with babydolls. Life is good.
We'll see in a few minutes when I go pick her up if she napped, ate well, etc. But I am certain she will love school. Such a social kid, so she'll love having other kids around. PLUS, her school has music class AND tumbling... kudos to my cousin Melissa for running a GREAT program. She is never gonna want to come home! As for me, my first five hours of freedom went by fast, but I got so much done! This is win win for everybody!!!!!

PS. Turns out she did have a FABULOUS day! But she was excited to see me when I picked her up, which was good for me. :) No nap, but she stayed on her mat like she was supposed to and read books. We'll see how that progresses. But first day was great!
