"Pretty School"

She's flying the coop!! (Our preschool is close enough to walk!)

Ella started preschool this week (or as she calls it "pretty school.") She goes on TTh to Miss Devina's house and then I have her in a joy school group on Wednesdays. Her social calendar is now VERY full. There were no tears from either of us when I dropped her off for the first time...but I would be lying if I didn't admit to a little nostalgia (and way more picture taking than I would like to admit to). They do grow up so fast!





When I asked Ella what she learned this week, she showed me her "silly face." I'm glad she picked up something interesting.

she looks so big in these pictures! I love the first picture of her walking to school and that she calls it "pretty school". Don't you feel old now that you have a kid in preschool? SAD!

She's so adorable! I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that didn't cry when my first went to school!

that is so cute. I loved the pictures and hearing about her stories and cute imagination. Sounds like school is off to a good start!

Wow! I can't believe Miss Ella is in preschool! She is getting big fast! She is so cute walking to school with her rolling backpack!

Pretty school huh??? I love it. My little girl used to call it "THREE SCHOOL" cuz she was three. When she turned four, she got a little confused.

Ella looks so grown up in these pictures! I love the one of her marching off to preschool with her backpack in tow. So cute. And also, Happy Birthday!!!! I can't believe that I still haven't put your little something in the mail yet, or failed to call on your special day. I feel so bad! But know that I was thinking of you and I hope that you had the best birthday ever! Love you!

I LOVE these pictures - what a big girl. I totally forgot to get a pic of Macy and her teacher. Oops.

Anyhow -

I am just going to start working on your birthday present without your input! :) We will see what I come up with!

New stages are fun! I am surprised at how camera shy my parents have been. There has only been 1 mom who has snapped a few distance shots as I have walked the kids out at the end of class.

She looks darling, what a cute little girl. How exciting! We actually didn't do preschool this year, I am kinda sad. But I can't wait until next year. What an exciting time for her.

I love these pics at Pretty School. I wonder if there are any openings for me? I love her hair - such a big girl! Lucky you guys to be able to walk to preschool. That is fun.
