Back to School

Yesterday was the first day of school. Lily's second year of preschool. I can hardly believe it. We had meet the teacher last Friday which was kind of a joke considering that Lily got the same teachers as last year -- Ms Andrea and Ms Melinda and is in the exact same class room!! So she was beyond excited, we love Andrea and Melinda. To make this year perfect, the school gave into our requests (demands) and put Lily, Elise, Matthew, Carys and Makayla together in the same class!!!! YAY!!!! Luke and Christie (who is also on her soccer team) from last years class are also in her class this year. Unfortunately, Blake got left out somehow and put in the other class, so we were pretty bummed about that. But out of 14 kids, she already is friends with 50%, so that is a great start! All ready to go! She woke up with a HUGE smile and was so ready to get ready to go to school!

A few weeks back we saw a car with a bumper sticker that had an "I love you" sign in sign language. Lily asked about it and I told her what it was and she has been signing "I love you " ever since. I am impressed that she remember it, considering we only saw it for a minute as we were stopped at a red light. It is actually really sweet.

Her new backpack. Last year we had a Disney Princess backpack, but it got pretty beat up after a year at school, and a few trips to CA. So I let her pick a new one for this year. I was SHOCKED that she didn't pick another Princess one, she is still very obsessed and into the princesses, but she wanted Hello Kitty. I kept the tags on until yesterday morning in case she changed her mind and had her look at all the backpacks every time we went back to Target or the Disney Store, but she wanted Hello Kitty. I am not complaining, I love Hello Kitty and it is actually way cuter than some of the princess ones they had.

Drop off was a breeze! Considering it was the same room, teachers and friends she had no problem. And, unlike last year, I didn't even shed a tear!! Maybe again next year when she starts her last year of preschool and for sure the year after when she starts kindergarten, but this year was easy, fun and exciting!
