making progress...

today was day 3 of georgia being at school. the teacher said she has gotten a little better each time. so that's progress. although today when i pulled up to the carpool line she started saying 'no no' and shaking her head. now how in the world does a 15 month old remember where she has been only 2 times in her life. amazing.

this was her this morning before we left for school. don't let the anxious look trick you in to thinking she was ready to go to school. she wanted to go outside to play in the mulch.


she came home in a completely different outfit because they got to eat cupcakes for someone's birthday and majority of the icing was on her clothes.

i know it's only 12 hours a week, but being away from her for any amount of time is never my first choice. it may be good for her...it may be good for me...it may be good for lots of other things too, but she is mine and i am hers and we are quite content 6 inches from each other at all times {except at night of course} anyway, all that to say today when i picked her up i was really glad she was a school girl now. why? because i love a preschool craft more than anything else in this world...

look at her new school bag...


we do crafts here at home but i LOVE a surprise craft. especially with my child's handprint on it. if you aren't in to a refrigerator covered in this kinda stuff, stay away from our house. i'm actually trying to figure out a way to turn the wall in our kitchen into a bulletin board so i can see all this stuff all the time. did i say that i love me a preschool craft???

and this came home today too...


now i laughed out loud when i pulled this out of her folder. happy? georgia? at school? well okay. i guess today she was feeling happy. which is a very good thing.

all in all, i think she {we} will get used to the whole school thing and really enjoy it. not much going on this weekend. it's raining here but i must say i'm feeling a little happy myself. joyful really. happy comes and goes. joy NEVER ends.
