Today was Kate's first day in the 3 year old class at preschool. Just about all of her friends from Ms. Edie's class last year are in Ms. Sharon's class, so she saw lots of familiar faces. And even though she has been sooooo excited to start, (mostly since Jackson has gone back to school) given her
first couple of days last year, I was prepared for at least some hesitation.
Today was our first morning getting all three of us dressed, fed and out the door, so it was a little
crazy rushed. Aside from simply going to school, Kate seemed most excited about having a 'present' for her teacher. We had several things to bring in this morning, but she only wanted to carry the present for Ms. Sharon. As soon as we walked through the door, she marched right over and gave it to her with a big hug. From there she moved on to the play kitchen and got to work. I stayed for a couple of minutes, gave her a big hug, and walked out. She never batted an eye, despite the craziness in the hallways. One little boy in Ms. Edie's class must have felt like Kate did last year b/c he was a mess!
My happy girl was all smiles for pictures before we left! Her outfit is pretty cute, huh? I got the skirt from Etsy seller
ButterBeans&ChicPeas. She makes super cute skirts, dresses, and all kinds of fun stuff for moms and she's right down the road with kids who go to Jackson's school! I asked for a scrap of the fabric, so I put the little applique on an ON tank Kate already owned.
The scallop has her name in it, but it's hard to see in the picture. I'm still learning thread choices on fabric. I have a hard time visualizing before it's stitched. Oh well, I thought it turned out pretty good. :-)
Proudly walking into preschool with her 'present'. When Sean asked her this afternoon about her first day, she was most excited to tell him ALL about the present. I love that my little girl loves giving! Makes me so happy!
