Ready for Pre-School!

We had a "Finding Nemo" moment this morning (for those of you who haven't watched that movie a trillion times like we have, that just means she was very excited for her first day of school!)...Jason was up at 5 to get ready for work and when he opened our bedroom door, Gracie was standing there fully dressed and asking if she could go to school now! :)
We finally made it to school and left her off for her first day of pre-school. Emmett cried when we left because he wanted to stay and play too. Then, as we were driving away, he said, "Bye Gracie, bye!" in a very sad voice. It was so cute!
After we dropped her off I took Emmett and Jessie and walked 2.5 miles on the river's edge trail - it was a fantastic morning to walk along the river - they were letting water over the falls and there were pelicans feeding along the shore.
I think Emmett enjoyed the "quiet" time, but was ready to go pick her up. Gracie didn't tell me a lot about school yet (she usually gives me attitude and won't tell me anything - she'll probably be ready to talk when Jason gets home - girls!). She did say that she wants to go again tomorrow (she'll have to wait until Friday) so that's all I wanted to hear! :) And she also already got a birthday party invite for Saturday, so maybe we can both meet some more kids/parents in her class. Overall, a great first day!


Yesterday we gave Gracie her new school backpack - she was very excited.


First day of pre-school - ready to go! (But forcing a smile - that attitude thing again-ugghh!)

Hooray! What a wonderful time for Gracie - and for you too. :) Enjoy your time with Emmett and Jessie. I hope that Gracie starts giving you less attitude! Hopefully school will help...
