Grrr.... blogger deleted this post originally for some reason, so I had to start over. That is my official excuse that I am just now posting her first day of school 2 days later.
Tues was Brooklyn's first ever day of school, and let me tell you, she was SO EXCITED.
"I ready to school now! I ready to school now!"
Funny faces during our photo shoot.
?????
We got in the door, and she looks at me... "Mommy, mark.... set.... RUN!" So, this is our running to class!
She had NO problems. Went straight in and hit the dress up box!
Picture with my big girl and her CHEESE face!
I had no problems either. Of course, I miss her when she is at school. And I miss her being a baby. But, David and I both agree that the girls are getting so big and so fun, that we woudn't go back! I love babies, but I LOVE my big kids! So, no tears about school. But I did have a "happy tears" moment in the car just because... hello, I just dropped my 2 year old with spina bifida off at PRESCHOOL. With no walker, no real speech concerns, no caths, no meds, no WORRIES, just normal 2 year old!! 3 years ago, during all the gloom and doom of the pregnancy, this seemed absolutely impossible. Such an overwhelmingly WONDERFUL feeling today! I am so happy for her and feel so blessed.

Then, came our wonderful day! David doesn't start the new job for a week and a half, so we had 5 hours just US. We had breakfast at one of our favorite places (BBQ brisket tacos... pure heaven) on the patio with 75 degrees and a breeze that almost made me cold. Drank coffee and watched espn on the screens outside. THEN we went to drive some minivans because Mommy needs new wheels. It was SUCH a glorious day.

This was Brooklyn today for school, wearing the same outfit Reagan wore on HER FIRST DAY of preschool when she was two. Brooklyn is 7 months older here than Reagan, but I just love comparison pics.... couldn't help but put them together. (R looks SO little!)
Speaking of R... Brooklyn has gotten a lot of "press" lately, so I will make up for it and do a Reagan post next. :) For now, things are awesome at the BeaverDam. Girls love school, transition is going well!! :)

5 hours of alone time...I could daydream about that! (only it wouldn't be you and David, cause that would be weird)
Ah-MAZ-ING!!! Happy tears and thanks to the Great Healer was MUCH deserved that day!
Jodi, i am mary's friend from high school "Ola" and keep up w/your blog. I am so encouraged by your reference to the fear you experienced in your pregnancy and what God has done to date. My husband and I are struggling with infertility and as I fear the future, it is a great reminder that we do not know what the future has in store. Thanks for sharing.
Look at her...so big! And what a wonderful blessing to be able to send her off with no worries, just joy in your heart. So happy for you, friend! Makes me well up with pride for you...and it encourages me when that day comes for us.
And I'm so glad to hear her speech is going well. I'm thinking maybe we need to start email chatting! Send me a note when you get a chance (JLBonnena@comcast.net).
Hugs to you and your littlest rock star!
