Ava's First Day of Preschool....

In front her locker

So excited!

So proud!

How did this happen? How do we have a preschooler already? When I signed Ava up for preschool, it seemed like something so distant in the future and it came up so fast! She has been so excited to go to school. She could hardly wait. We have been talking about what would happen at preschool for a while now. We had open house before the first day, and Ava seemed pretty timid that day. However, when the big day came to go by herself, she was all ready. We all went to take her for her first day, and she thought it was pretty neat to have Daddy and Owen there. After we hung up her backpack in her locker and she got her name tag, she was a little scared to go sit with the other kids. We waited around for a few minutes (while she inched closer to the group), and then I told her we were leaving. She immediately asked when I was coming to get her, and I told her I would be back soon. Well, 2 1/2 hours later, I had an extremely excited little girl running up to me whose first words were "I had fun here today, Mom". She loved it! She is already talking about her friends Anna and Hannah and rattled off all three of her teacher's names with no problem. She will be going every Tuesday and Thursday mornings the whole school year. Should be fun to hear about her days!
