Her 1st day of school!




It was Monday. But I didn't get a chance to blog it. I DID, however, of course snap at least a couple of pictures before we raced out the door. Raced because it was already 8:41, and it starts at 8:45... but it didn't matter since it is at my friend, Rachelle's house like ONE minute away! I debating not doing it. And now, two days in, I could kiss Rachelle's face off.

Sophia loves it, as I knew she would. She doesn't want to leave when I get there. She's around the corner, and her teacher is a good friend of mine that I know and trust, so I feel super safe. And like I said, she's around the corner. Could it get any easier for mama?!

So far, I'm in heaven. I miss her of course, and want to eat her up at lunch time, which is a good thing. Oh yeah, and the pictures.... I kept talking up school with a backpack, thought I'd get her one, and forgot. So when the morning came, she kept asking for her backpack. I explained to her that I forgot to get her a little-girl backpack, so she could wait 'till next time, or use Daddy's big backpack. She chose the latter. I don't have to tell you how cute she looked.

Ah! School? Your baby is in SCHOOL?! Look at Soph with the backpack the size of her little body. She's such a girl. How lovely that she's so close, getting social time, learning, and still home for lunch. I wish we worked like that:)

What a milestone. And so great for a mother's heart to have her baby so close!

ps We sold the utah property in March. But I was wondering if you guys ever rented your other house?

School. Wow! She's such a big girl. And that's great that you have this preschool option. Sounds perfect.

I love it! Look at her with her backpack, she looks so proud! How cute that she remembered. She will have a hay day picking out her own! And Mila, I wish I could squeeze those thighs. I can't believe how big our girls are getting?!

Cute. I remember Madisen starting Pre-school. I was so torn, but in the end I was glad I sent her.
