ellie's first day of preschool!

so now it was ellie's turn to have her first day of school!  we had 2 orientations last week and the official first day was today.  we have been talking about it for so long.  and she was so anxious to start.  she wants to go to school just like her big sister.  whenever we drop addison off at school she always asks, "when is it MY turn???"  

i was wondering how she would do because her "All By Myself" class last year was only an hour and a half and it was only 1 day a week.  this year she is going to real preschool... it's almost 3 hours and we're going 3 times a week.  and the class size is much bigger.  i had a feeling she'd be okay, but you never know.  what if she all of sudden got clingy and started crying?!

so we baked cookies yesterday for her teachers.  it was just another way for me to get her excited (even though she already was) about going... she would get to give her teachers a "present"!  she was very proud to do that.

So very excited!!!

and this is how i left her... busy playing with playdoh.  she hardly even said bye to me.  :(  it makes me relieved and sad all at the same time!  my little jr. is growing up!

"See Addison, I'm a big girl just like you!"
