Talulah's First Day of School EVER!

Waking Talulah up this morning was pretty darn sweet. I started with some back rubs to which she replied, "I'm trying to sleep Leia." thinking it was one of the dogs at her Dad's house. Then I sang her the good morning song, while she listened she just kept rolling around with her eyes closed not interested at all in waking up. Then I said, "Good morning school girl."...... She sat up so fast you would have sworn she'd been pinched!

She asked, "Am I going to school today?" and was THRILLED when I said yes. She told me that she's very big now and even her hands are bigger. (And showed me by measuring them with my hands.) Breakfast was just not happening this morning. Talulah was too excited to eat more than a bite... I hope she made it to snack time without withering away!

Daddy & Jodi came to our home so we could all go to her new Out Of School Care (OOSC from now on, to keep it easier) and to walk to school together. She asked if we could all go together every morning. 

So, Talulah and her crew all headed out. It was chaotic and exciting and sad (for her Dad and I at least) and wondrous all at the same time.

Our baby started school. SCHOOL! How on earth did she grow up so fast and can't we have our baby back for just a little while? Soon she'll be a grown-up. *gulp*   *sob*

Here are some photos to document the ever-so-exciting occasion. You can tell by Talulah's GIANT smile that she was over the moon about this whole school business. 

There may have been a few tears once i got to work (like, lots of them)... But all in all, I'm so very proud of our sweet, brave girl.

It's official, Talulah is a Kindergartener!
