first day of preschool...

Today was Avery's first day of school! 

I took "wake-up-sleep-in-my-eye" photos but still waiting for them to appear in my inbox

guess I will have to post them later! 

Here is her first day of school lunch...

carrots

tangelo

apple

turkey roll ups

grapes

and two cookies...

Such a happy girl, excited to go play with new friends and paint with purple!

Posing just like big sister Addison...

Speaking of big sister...

we made it to school in time for a quick picture of our girls on their way to school! 

they just look so cute together!!! 

After we dropped Addie off in her classroom, we skipped our way to hers! 

and took a few more pictures!!! 

{again, more on the iPhone but will have to update later!}

this photo should have a caption that reads:

"I am so going to conquer the first day of school"

attempting a pose in front of the school...

learning our way around...

following directions, very important in preschool!!!

being greeted by our teachers...

snap shots of her classroom...

fun play centers...

hugs and kisses good-bye...

"mommy, can you play with me?"

"no baby, not today. you get to play with new friends"

"ok mommy... i love you mommy!"

"i love you too sweet pea!"

and off she goes to play with new friends!!! 

and yes, I admit I lingered outside the door... just to make sure she is alright! 

Yep, she's good!!!

now... what to do for the next 5 hours???

hmmm...

UPDATE: She had a fabulous day! In fact, when I showed up to pick her up she said "hi mommy" and continued to play in the play kitchen! And her lunch... gobbled it up! Guess all that practice-eating-out-of-a-lunchbox worked!!!
