first day of preschool

YAY! Today was the day that Lydia had been waiting for for months! the first day of preschool :)  I had picked out a sweet dress from her closet last night, ironed it, picked out a matching barrette & sandals, thinking about her first day pictures.  Well, as usual, this little lady had her own plan & ditched the dress I  picked & went to her closet to pick a new dress {I think she did good!}.  Once she was all ready she wanted to make sure I took pictures of her just like I did of "her boys" last week on the first day of school.  Seriously, this one doesn't miss a thing.  So she struck her pose & said "preschool!"

and modeled her ensemble....

when I asked what she was doing here, she said "I was just thinking about preschool..."

& then she had to try to catch some raindrops on her tongue {even though it wasn't raining anymore}

then she ran toward the car yelling... "come on mom!" {complete with blankie cape}

Here she is at preschool {look how excited she looks!}

putting her crayon with her name & picture on the wall so they know she's there

leaving preschool with one of her teachers & classmates {with hand gestures of course!}

showing me her crayon crown she made!

can you tell she had a great day?

I love love love how excited she is about preschool!  She was such a smiling, happy go lucky little girl today... made her mama so happy too!  We even were able to go pick up some McDonald's & eat lunch in daddy's office, then we needed to go get Lydia a few shots she was missing & since she did so great, a well deserved ice cream cone!  Now?  It's nap time. phew!  

Congratulations of your first of many first days of school sweetie!  We love you & are so proud of you :)
