Little School for a "Big Girl"!

Well, yesterday, my baby girl..not really a baby anymore.. started Pre-K. Her school, Little School, is at the Methodist Church here in Covington. I've heard nothing but RAVE reviews from former students' parents and also other random people from the area about Little School. I'm not even sure how she got in.. most people are on the waiting list for at least 2 years! But thankfully, she's in and she's already loving it!

Yesterday, the parents went with the students..i guess just to "ease" them into it. Also, to meet the other moms and fill out required forms and such. Today was a regular day for her. She walked right in and never looked back.. kinda made me sad! But I'm also so proud of her..that she's secure, independent and confident enough to be without mommy for a few hours. Her teachers are super sweet and there is so much to do in her classroom! They teach Spanish, have "Jump Bunch" once a month (which is a 30 min exercise/sports class), field trips, lots of art projects, chapel and morning praise. I really think it's going to be a great year for her!

Yea, Elizabeth! What a big girl!!!

I'm glad you're handling it well, Em. It's a big adjustment for us moms.
Don't you just wish you could freeze time?!

As always, she looked beautiful for her first day of school, and mommy got TERRIFIC shots!

Still waiting for your trip to B'ham!
