Today was the much anticipated first day of preschool for Paige. It has been so cute to witness her excitement each day as she asked, "How many more days until school momma?" So, yesterday she was ecstatic about the fact that she only had one day left to wait. Before bed, we picked out her outfit, double checked her backpack, and sat it by the door. Then Paige said, "Momma, what if I can't sleep tonight because I am so excited?" Luckily, she did sleep pretty good, but woke up bright and early at 6am...an hour earlier than I had hoped!
We started off this special day with Paige's favorite breakfast-blueberry pancakes in the shape of a heart.
Then, Paige made her bed all by herself. I only helped her pull the covers up and she did all the rest. (Look at all of those stuffed animals and dolls to put on!)
The photo tradition begins.
I really love this one!
I think she looks tall here!
Being silly!
With the proud Mommy and Daddy! (Chloe is sleeping.)
Getting ready to go in...she looks scared in this photo, but she wasn't!
Hanging up her backpack for the first time!
She is so happy to have Mrs. Voss as her teacher!
The fun begins for the day. Playing with baby dolls is one of Paige's favorite activities. Shortly after this photo, Paige gave me the thumbs-up to let me know that she was okay and that I could leave her for the morning. It was only 8:02...I was so proud of her and a little sad at the same time.
This is another tradition I'm starting...the giant school cookie! Paige doesn't like candy, but she sure loves her cookies. So, I thought this was the perfect way to celebrate her first day of school.
Paige was kind of surprised by the size of the cookie and said, "Mommy, this is a little big for me to eat!" She did enjoy having quite a large piece though, and I am sure it won't go to waste!
