First Day of School

It is hard to believe but Jennifer is now a preschooler! Today was her first day of school. How cute she looked walking up the sidewalk with her backpack on, Jennifer is fairly short so the backpack was just as big as she is, but it was very cute. After a hug and a kiss Bill and I walked out to leave our baby at her first day of school. Jennifer had no issues with us leaving, I think I was the one that was sad. As a mom it is hard to leave your baby, especially after being with her almost every day for the past three years. I know some of you are thinking come on its just preschool. I know, I know, it's only two days a week and only three hours but that dosen't make it any easier. Just like any parent I want to protect my child and make sure that everything is ok, with her at school I can't be there to make sure that is happening. Jennifer does not communicate like a typical three year old so I do not know what friends she played, if someone was mean or nice to her, what she had for snack or even what centers she played at. All this makes it that much harder for me to let her go. We however are very blessed to have two amazing ladies as Jennifer's teachers. I know above all else she is being loved on while at school and that is what made it a little easier to drop her off this morning. According to her teachers Jennifer had a great first day at school! She played dress up and sat through circle time wonderfully. I am so proud of my little girl!

The first two pictures are of Jennifer getting ready to leave for school. How cute is she with her little (big) backpack! The last picture has nothing to do with school, I just really love this picture of her, she is so cool!

Just a note: someday very soon we are getting high speed internet at home (yahoo) so then I will be able to update our site more!
