First Day of Nursery School

Well, the first day of nursery school is in the books! It went off without a hitch. Lola was excited to put her uniform and backpack on and head out the door this morning. Her teacher, Miss Carrie, was waiting for her at the door when she walked into school. We pulled out of the parking lot, laughed in shock at the fact we just sent our baby off on her first day of school and then my laughter turned to tears of joy.

The 3 hours went pretty fast--Johnny and I had some nice one-on-one time at home--and then before we knew it, it was time to go pick up sister. She didn't have much to say when she got in the car (she was kind of upset I'd forgotten to have juice waiting for her--bad mommy!), but she finally started talking about her day. I looked in her backpack while sitting at a stop light and found a picture she had colored of Taffy Apple (see Open House post), a cutting practice sheet (she cut perfectly along the line) and a certificate of completion commemorating her "First Day of School". Sweet things to go in her memory box.

Grammy was waiting for us when we got home, which was so nice. She couldn't wait to see Lola all dressed up in her uniform--the same one Brittany wore for 8 years. A wonderful day!
