First day of school!

Riding the school bus home!
A teary mommy!




Arriving to school

Getting ready to go!

Today Lily began her first day of "real" school at Liberty Elementary Pre-K. The teachers came to our home earlier in the week and today we dropped her off with 1/2 of her class and she rode the school bus home. Before school, she said she didn't want to go, later we asked her why and she said she thought there would be monsters there. Happily, by the end of the day, she exclaimed, that she liked school. I took the morning off work so I could "experience" Lily's first day with her. I am really glad I did...however, I did not expect to feel so emotional about it all! I guess it is a big milestone in life!

Creciendo

Hay muchas cosas que crecen crecen crecen...

This has been Lily's summer of growth. Up until now, she has been pretty consistent with her sizes and her age. When she was 2 she wore 2T, when she was 3, she wore 3T, etc...but this summer...man...she has sprouted....some of her 4T has gotten too small:) Yet in my mind, she is too little for either 5T or little girls 4/5 clothes. She grew out of her footwear in a blink! Her little toes are hanging out of her shoes that were way too big when the summer started!

Of course, mama is a little sad...who would think her changing clothing sizes would invoke an emotional response:)

Exciting for the fall...Lily got accepted into the public school pre-K program. We are all very excited. She gets to ride the school bus like a big girl....oh man....letting go...
