FIRST Day of Pre-K!

I gave myself a pep talk this morning.....Pre-K is still preschool. Just because it is AT the Elementary school and Avery will go EVERYDAY, it does not mean she has "started school." It is only 1/2 day. She is still only 4. She IS still my baby. Time really isn't moving at lightening speed... AND it worked- mostly. I shed no tears when I dropped her off today, which is mostly because for the first time ever- neither did she. She was excited and she sat right now and started playing with someone she DIDN'T know. I was a PROUD mama. As usual, I am over the top about all of it- Avery got to go to the mall and pick out a new outfit, pick the dinner menu tonight, go to McDonald's after school AND she got a new Barbie. What is wrong with me? I am really excited about this year and I truly believe it is going to be a great year for Avery. The teachers could not be any sweeter and based on friends' input- they will both be GREAT for Avery and her personality. Most of you know I have been completely stressing about whether or not to hold her back for kindergarten and I for some reason after today, I just feel good about our decision- she will do pre-K this year and that will be a perfect transition for her to kindergarten next year!

I really did try to get a picture with no thumbs in mouth AND No Buster but I was not successful!
