The first day of really being big!

Before we leave posing for mommy in her uniform and with her fancy school hairdo!


Obligatory self portrait!

Outside the school still smiling! And even a sunny day for the occasion. Remember we don't live in California so this was an extra special treat. Oliver has his hood on because he is a crazy child, not because it was cold!


This picture was her own idea. She is the ultimate poser! We dropped her in her class and she just waved us out the door! No tears, no glances back, very very ready to start!

When I went to pick her up she looked at me and said... "It was a bad day!"

Her teacher chimed right in with the whole story. And just to preclude it wasn't an entirely bad day, just one bad thing happened. She was at lunch and a girl told her she was "all nasty and naughty". She cried and cried for a total of 5 minutes and then went off to play. She mentioned it a few times, but survived! It reminds of another story about a little girl in Fountain Valley saying to the new neighbors..."Don't you think I'm pretty?" and the reaction was not favourable. Like mother like daughter!
