A new year

Little Misses first day of the 2010-2011 school year went wonderfully. She had talked about going back to school since it ended in June so this wasn't a huge deal for her. She was a little nervous when we got to school but once her teacher walked up it was as if she had never taken a break. It makes it easier to send her when she wants to go and we are not making her go. Here's to a wonderful 2010-2011 school year.

You may not be able to tell but her eyes are open in this picture.

This is the sweetest looking face. I have never seen her pose like this before. She was totally hamming it up for me until I made her mad by trying to get all of the stray hairs cut that had slid forward after I cut them the first time. Their is a reason I am not allowed to cut her bangs. For some reason we didn't listen to that before attempting it this time around.

They have a name tag on their back pack and they have to wear one. I understand the reasoning behind this but it is still weird to see my 3 year old with a name badge on. This picture is her I am thinking twice about this whole school thing look.

Her backpack is almost as big as she is. It cracks me up to see her try and put it in her locker. We got one on wheels because the regular backpacks go past the bend in her knees.

She was excited about having pudding and chocolate fish for a snack. The simple pleasures in life.

No surprise here but she had to be the first one in the room. It was neat to watch her do the same routines she had left a few months before. It was almost as if she hadn't left. That is a great feeling.

Without being told all of the kids immediately went over without being told and sat in a chair while waiting for circle time. They were definitely used to a routine from the previous year. When I picked her up at the end of the day she was nothing but smiles. She had a great day!
