School has begun

Sallie Rose is officially a Pre-K student. She is at her 2nd day of school and she was very excited to be going back today. I was very nervous and very worried about her that first day. Not only were none of her best friends from preschool going to be there, but there are only 2 other girls in her class. When I picked her up that first day, she was in a great mood and very happy. We went and got a cupcake to celebrate and then we went home and she immediately went to sleep.

Today, she is staying until 4:00 pm to have rest time there and get to play for an additional hour. I made her a nap mat just so she could stay later with her friends. I hope she enjoys it!

Here she is on her first day:



Next week, I will begin my new job. I am so grateful to have had this week off to get Sallie Rose started in her new school and also spend some alone time with Lulie. Lulie and I never are alone and I really do feel like I need alone time with both of my girls to be able to connect with them each. They are so great together, but they are also so different alone.

Lulie and I have not done much, but we have played some and went for a bike ride and she rode in the I-bert seat, which she loved. I had this when Sallie Rose was little and we loved taking bike rides. I love getting to spend some time with my girls, but I am ready to get to work!

Here is Lulie on our bike ride and wearing her sister's dress while she is at school. I had to pry the dress off of her.




Just for fun, here is a photo of Sallie Rose on the I-bert when she was little:
