Pretty School

I have this distinct memory of when I was ready to start pre-school I thought it was called "pretty school." I seriously had this image in my head of this school covered in flowers and gardens and being surrounded by pretty things. Obviously that was not the case, but it is hard to believe that my little girl is now going to pre-school and looking and acting so big. She is in pre-school four mornings a week now and I can tell it is going to be something she enjoys very much.

We attended an open house the night before she started school and got to see her classroom and meet her teacher Mrs. M. She found her name all around the room and found her little cubby.

The classroom is wonderful and her teacher is fantastic. We feel so fortunate to be able to have her in such a wonderful program and we can already tell she is going to learn so much.
We went school clothes shopping before school started because honestly is there anything better than new school clothes? Okay, maybe it was more for me than her, but this was the only outfit that she insisted on having. Whether it was the pink or the bedazzled rhinestones, she saw this shirt and it was love at first sight. She calls the shirt her "rock shirt." I think she means rock star? Either way I may be in trouble. She also requested that I straighten her hair. She was definitely working it.

Don't you love my tiny little Audrey trying to be just like her sister?
Look at how long that hair is!Here we are with the back pack all ready to roll. It is pretty early when we have to leave but I have found that I really enjoy it. It is so nice to be up and out and get so much accomplished in the morning.
Here she is in the hallway of her school where I dropped her off. Julia loves new experiences and approaches new experience with so much enthusiasm. She didn't even look back or hesitate but walked right in her classroom ready to get started. We are so proud of you Julia and are excited to see how much you learn and grow this year.Just because Julia refuses to talk on the phone to anyone I thought I would save her grandparents the trouble and do a little video interview of how her day went. She was eating lunch so don't mind that her appetite got the best of her in the middle of the video.
