Back to Preschool

Lily just finished her first week of preschool - and she loves it! It was a rough week and a half watching Mia go off to school every day, and knowing she had to stay home with me - all alone. Not only was her sister leaving her behind, but her good buddy, Annie, was starting kindergarten this year and she was no longer around for play dates. She wouldn't want to play with me because she said "it was more fun playing with kids, not moms!" She was dying for her school to start. Finally the first day came, and she was all smiles - with her nap mat and lunch box ready the night before. She has fantastic teachers and was sad that today was Saturday and she couldn't go to school. I have to admit, I really do miss my great shopping companion during the day while she is gone. But I am taking advantage of the time alone, realizing that in about 9 weeks it will all be over for a while. :)

Lily and her gear for the day!

 

All smiles, and looking so cute.

 

In class, and ready to go.
