Sara's First Day of Preschool

Sara started preschool today! In some ways I can't believe she is this old, but in other's it feels like she's been ready for this for ages.

She was so excited to begin (at the same preschool Laura attended) that she began asking how many minutes until preschool with 3.5 hours until it started. So, we got her ready early and took pictures way ahead of time. Then because I couldn't distract her any longer, we met Daddy for an early lunch. This is the best of her "off to school" pictures.
Alas, Arctic Circle resulted in a messy Sara and thus, a new outfit for school. So, we took some hurried pictures of how she actually was dressed for her first day of preschool. And "this is my real princess smile, Mom" resulted in this classic photo for the memory book!
She also thought it was important to document her "beautiful hairdo" and "cool purple backpack". And, with Sara, there's no picture taking experience without a silly face!

We made it out the door and were able to snap one picture on her way in - she was excited to get started. Sara ran right in with no trace of apprehension. She hung up her backpack, found her name on her table, started playing with playdoh, and said "see you later" to me. Sara is a serious go-getter!

Laura helped pick her up from preschool and Sara just bubbled over with how great it all was. We are excited for another wonderful year with Miss Shauna!
