Emma goes to school

Today was Emma's first day of preschool. To say I was excited would be somewhat of an understatement. Emma, had mixed emotions, all depending on her mood...oh how much she is like me! ;) Obviously from the above picture, at that moment she was NOT happy about going. (More so was the fact that I wouldn't let her take her brother's Stephen Joseph backpack with the firetruck, but that's beside the point) She cheered up pretty quickly as you will see below.

I was surprised at how well she did at drop-off. There were no tears (at least while I was there) from her. She sat down at the table and started drawing on the doodle pros they had laid out for them. She was mad that I wouldn't let her have her lunch bag right then, she really wanted those blueberries I had packed for her. I snuck out of the room while she was distracted, so I'm sure she will be fine today. The teachers did warn me that they like to do a LOT of painting and crafts in their class, so I'm guessing Emma won't be coming home in the adorable outfit I sent her in, rather the old hand-me-down sweatsuit I sent as a backup. ;) At least she starts out cute! heehee


Ahh, much better, there's my cutie pie!

Excited about going to school now

What is Austin going to do without Emma to play with during the day!? She looks so precious though. And very excited!
