this time it's reese's first day of school. she was really excited to be going back to the same school with several of the same friends in her class from last year. she was also excited about meeting the new kids in her class and her new teacher. we had a small battle over the color lunch box she would take, but we both agreed on her first-day-of-school-outfit. i picked the little dress up at target and reese's gram knitted the cute green flower pinned to the front. reese was very proud to wear the flower that gram made and she insisted on wearing shorts under her dress so no one saw her panties. i'll never say no to that!
she cooperated for a few pictures for only about a minute. something about hugging the pole made her actually look at the camera.
and then she was done so i documented that too.
but i pulled out a little trick: peek-a-boo!
and then i threw matson in the mix. give hugs!
she was in the door of her class before i new it, but not before big goodbye hugs. matson wasn't so happy that she wasn't coming with us, but then it was his turn to go to mdo. he wasn't so thrilled about staying there, but stopped crying with in a couple minutes. AND THEN, do you know what?! i had my FIRST day (it's really only a few hours) with no kids since reese was born! i am super excited about having two days a week this year to get some things done without the kids.
so back to reesey...she had a great first day! she likes her new teacher, but boy reese doesn't cut her any slack. her teacher is back in the classroom this year for the first time in 10 years so she's getting back into the swing of things. she didn't realize it was time to go to music so the class was late on the first day. reese told me, "mrs. whiting never forgets!" mrs. whiting was her teacher last year. poor new teacher has a lot to live up to in reese's eyes. she loves mrs. whiting and i think she'll love the new teacher too.
i also got a full report on who got in trouble. ha! her teacher has a little traffic light with clothes pins that have each child's name on it for their behavior warnings. three of the twelve kids got on the yellow light. reese was proud to stay on the green.
i think she'll have a great year at preschool this year!

too cute, both reese and the first day outfit. wow, she does have high standards--that's a good sign, and I'm sure she'll love her new teacher. enjoy your kid-free time.
Right about now, I wish we lived close so we could enjoy these first kid-free days together with a cup of coffee (before we got to work getting things done that is :)
We should chat soon :)
She is precious! They both are. Love that had up in front of the camera. And yay for free time! Hope you enjoy...
