Just some new pictures...

I didn't think this happened until junior high...

I had to fight with Paige about what pants to wear, how to do her hair, and refusal to put on shoes. Good grief! Anyway, I finally got her in a matching outfit ... the first one consisted of a bright yellow shirt, purple pajama pants and aqua socks - with her purple sandals.

This is her first day with "real" (non-sandal) shoes and she was NOT happy about wearing them. She kept saying they were too tight.

The other picture is in her fairy costume that Meci sent. She took the wings off and on about 10 times in 30 minutes. It was pretty cute!

Second Day of Preschool :)

First "real" day of preschool...

Well, we dropped our baby off at school this morning. I think she handled it better than Mommy did :) She did scream and didn't want to let go of me when she saw the other kids crying. But then I pointed her to the baby dolls and she was fine. She didn't even look back...well, Doug dragged me out at that point, so maybe she did. I'll refrain from thinking about it! :) Doug was very supportive and I'm glad he was there this morning! I'll probably take some pictures when I pick her up this afternoon.

First Day of Preschool

It technically was an open house that we all went to...September 13th is her first day without Mommy and Daddy there. Frankly, I think I will have a harder time with it than she well!

We walked in and she immediately warmed up to the room. She sat down and colored with the only two other girls in her class. After a couple of minutes she started to talk to the other girls and offer them different colors. Such an organizer. There are 13 21/2 year olds in her class and 10 of them are boys. I'm sure she'll be just fine... I love her teacher.

More next week.

The Potty...

Obligatory bathtub picture with Paige's friend Connor Williamson at the beach!

Our daughter has taught us so much in 2 1/2 years... how to train herself to have an amazing sleep schedule, how to train herself healthy eating habits, and now...she has potty-trained herself :) OK, so we'll take some credit. I did buy her panties, and just put them on her to see what happened. After two accidents, she ran to the potty anytime she felt anything. After that we had one accident in 6 days. Such a smart kid. Of course Grammy and Poppie had a big part in the grown-up experience by helping with potty-time, etc. They were both a huge help in this exciting experience!
