school girl

DSC_0421 copy

it happened.
she went to school. we've been prepping for this day for weeks.. months even. all of her friends and cousins have already started. she asked every day when it was her turn to go to school. if she sees a school bus, it is coming for her to take right to school.

my girl. my school girl.
i expected sadness. my baby girl is going to school. how?
but mostly we are all just really excited.
plus.. she is still really tiny. so she still feels babyish.. just babyish and gone for 6 hours a week now... not so bad. :)
and let's also just be truthful and say getting her school wardrobe ready has been more than fabulous. why, oh why do i find so much joy in dressing my children? stay tuned for more.. i don't mean to toot my own horn.. but if we're being honest.. her new fall line is sort of amazing. she makes everything look cute.

so big.. didn't even bat a lash to be here.
and look at that little back pack on her hook. does it melt you? it sort of does me.

her class has some jungle theme going on.. so of course a safari complete with wardrobe had to happen. why not?
has preschool upped the anti since we've been there?
me thinks so.

isn't she stinkish??
she is absolutely tickled all sorts of pink to be a school girl. her class is perfect for her, and i love the alone time it grants me with my pop-tart.

all in all.. preschool is a success.

love you my poodles.
you do me proud.

Too darling, doesn't time fly? I had a moment last week when I thought about the week you let me take care of Minie Moo, she was 6 months old!

I have been waiting for this you know...and oh my gosh you did not disappoint. Love the Boden on Minie. It is very her. Very, very cute indeed. I can't wait to see more. Like really, I can't. Maybe consider an outfit of the day kind of thing? Just saying.

Oh my goodness...those colors were made for her! Never doubted for a moment that she would love pre-school. They are soooo lucky to have her join their ranks. Love Miss Mini Moodles!!XOXOXO
P.S. Grandma Alice knows how to do it right!

P.S. Pretty sure it was just a couple of years ago that you and Whitney Lisonbee were dressed up with your backpacks for school.

i need alice to take greta school shopping.

just sayin.

p.s. you should probably have put her in afternoon so we could both have only 1 child for a few hours together a week... for the time being.

2 p.s. i got a raise! you owe me $210..

Cute!! And I agree - we need to see more of this fall wardrobe.

So glad she loves her preschool...safari hats? Love it!

Minie knows how to rock that chartreuse dress. Not to mention her shoes. That's a lot more fun than the navy blue uniforms we're sporting over here.

Umm..excuse me. That outfit is amazing!!!!

Pam said...

Daily postings of her outfits, please. I was lucky enough to see today's ensemble but the rest of the world should see it too! :)

SO dang cute!! Isnt it just as fun watching them grow up and live their little lives, as it is heartbreaking that it all happens so fast!! I love everyday when they get home that they are so happy and eager to talk all about their little day, that was just theirs, that they created!! Love it!!

So, yes I am commenting again. I thought this outfit was SO amazing that I pulled it up to show Chase. And, I LOVED his response. He was like, "Her teacher was NOT disappointed when she walked into the class!"

Oh, how I love her fashion sense. :)
