School Days! School Days! A Three Hour Break For Mom is Cool Days!

Mary Janes and ruffle socks?


Check.
Hair Bows to match your jumper?

Check.
My Little Pony backpack, with actual hair, that is almost the size of your body?

Check.
Grace started preschool on Wednesday.

I know. The cuteness blinded me too, your eyes will recover.

She was SO excited, and has repeated many times since starting, "I can't believe I go to school now!" Here she is getting in the car...

And, oh dear, here she is 2 minutes later, thinking we went the wrong way to school, and now, "We can NEVER go to school!!! Never ever ever! Waaaaaaa!"

Make it stop, mommy, make it stop...

Upon arrival, Grace made friends with a little girl who had the same MLP backpack! The girl was different, somehow, but we are all about diversity.

Then she started up a game of tag ... with a boy. At least it was not the game of Kissy Boy that I totally never played every single day at Kindercare.

When we were finally allowed to enter the classroom, Grace couldn't wait to check out every activity available. She painted, colored, played puppets, and finally landed in the "kitchen" on the phone.

"Oh, Jimmy, your so silly! It was just a game of tag! Of course I am not going to play Play Dough with him too!"

"So your concerns are longer snack time and one more round of "Open, Shut Them?" Uh-huh ... uh-huh. So I have your vote for Pre-school Student Council?"

I am so excited for Grace. She is definitely the social butterfly of the family and I just know that she will continue to love school.

And God bless the brave, brave woman that is her teacher.
