Man was she excited to go to school today.
She insisted I take a picture of her "pack, pack".
Emerald did get a haircut yesterday. We chopped the bangs--I was so tired of them being in her face all the time. After the haircut she looked in the mirror and said, "I can see! I look beautiful." No, not vain at all, just a 3 year old.
Peering in at Calvin.
This is just to show how smiley she was today. I never get this many pictures in one day of her looking at the camera and smiling (at least not w/o a lot of bribes).
Our little girl started preschool today! She was so excited, she was bouncing off the walls! We hadn't planned to send her to school until next year. However, a spot came open for her in our local elementary school's preschool program. We really wanted her in next year, but she was #11 on the wait list. If we enroll her in the program now, she has a gauranteed spot for next year. This is huge, b/c we wanted her at the same school she will be attending kindergarten. It is also a mere 3 minutes from our house. We are excited, but can't believe that our little Emers can be old enough for school already. She will be attending 3 days a week, in the afternoons, which works b/c she is not napping anyway. She will be a peer model in the program. We know that this will be an excellent experience for her, both socially and academically. We know she is a smart little girl, but it can never hurt to challenge her in new ways. This way she will be able to socialize with other kids her own age. Even though she was beginning the year a little late, their were 2 other new kids in her class today. Her teacher seems super sweet and Emerald was all smiles when we picked her up. Poor Calvin asked all the way home, "(Where) Gee (his nickname for her) go??" After waking up he searched the house, for all of 10 minutes, looking high and low for his hero, Gee. It is moments like this that really make you realize how fast your little munchkins grow up. We love our little girl and we are so proud of the person she is turning out to be!! May God continue to bless her!!
