First Day of School

Today was Abby's first day of Pre-K. She is going to Gray Rd. Christian School again and will go every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. She was a little nervous at first, but after meeting her teacher on Friday, she felt a little better. Most of the kids in her class are the same that were in it last year. We went out yesterday and got her a new back to school outfit, bracelet, and even underwear. Aunt Sarah painted her toes and fingernails. Drop off on the first day is hilarious! You would think it was their wedding day. Cameras are flashing everywhere, there are lots of tears and hugs! The entire morning Claire said "Abby, Abby, Abby?" She did not understand why she was not here to play with her. She was very excited when we picked her up. Abby came home full of tales from the day. I swear she grew up 10 years in one day. (just like Noah on young and the restless who came back from summer camp all grown up :)) We miss her but I really enjoy the morning with just Claire!


Here she is sporting her new Hello Kitty backpack (wet hair and all). The picture below is her buddy Lainey. Lainey and Abby have been in a playgroup together since before they were one. Don't they look like little teenagers?
