Annabelle started Montessori school today. My baby! She was so excited. Last night at about 10, after a couple hours of sleep, she woke up asking, “I can go to school now? I can see my teacher? I can see my friends?” I could only laugh and tell her that, no, she would have to sleep just a little bit more before she could go to school.

When we got there, she just ran right on into her room with barely a glance back. No trauma, no drama, and certainly no tears. I was able to at least talk her into coming back to the door to give me a bye-bye kiss. :P

Here are some pics we took at home this morning…

And the backpack, which is Mommy’s favorite thing of the moment - purchased last month at the zoo:

She didn’t want to leave this afternoon when I picked her up, and she chattered for the first hour or so, practically nonstop, about her day. Good, good stuff. :)
