First Day of School - Update

C started preschool today. I cannot believe how big she is. She has grown up so fast! It seems like yesterday that she was taking her first steps. I would give anything just to have one more day with her as a baby. Just so I could cuddle with her. She's too busy to cuddle for very long these days. She was pretty excited this morning. She couldn't wait to get out the door.


C's preschool has dance built right into the curriculum. She'll be doing ballet, tap & tumbling. She's actually supposed to go to preschool in her dance clothes. She dances for the fist hour, and then changes into her school clothes. I had to get a pic of both outfits!


I will post again this afternoon with her thoughts about her first day of school.

I picked C up at noon and she was happy to see me. She looked so darn cute running to the car with her little backpack bouncing around. Once I got her in the car, she proudly displayed her first day artwork. She colored a picture of a bus and was supposed to cut out the wheels and glue them to the appropriate place on the bus. However, she wanted to glue the wheels to the front of the bus, but then decided she didn't like them and peeled them off and threw the wheels in the garbage can. After the great wheel debacle, she grabbed some scissors and cut off the printed directions on the top of the page because she "didn't want so many words by her bus." I told her I thought that was a good idea and I didn't like buses with a lot of words either. She is my buddy.

We ate lunch when we got home and I told her she could watch Sesame Street. She was asleep in under 10 minutes. Preschool wore her out! And no, that isn't a beauty mark on her face, its part of her un-eaten cookie that I had to pry out of her sweaty little hand after she fell asleep on the couch.
