Elizabeth's First Day of School

So, each of my kids had a different first day of school this year, which spread out the picture taking load!  Elizabeth is going to the same little school as Abby Kate, but for only 2 days per week.  I went back and forth during registration (back in January) over whether or not to put her in at all.  It's a great program, and Christa and Abby Kate have loved it!  But I was thinking at the time that she would be the only one at home with me, and between putting her in the church nurseries for bible study and MOPS, she would get plenty of social interaction that way, while giving me more one-on-one time with her.  About 2 weeks after registration opened to the public, I learned little Thomas would be joining us.  So, I reconsidered my decision not to enroll her, but the class I wanted was full.  Of course it was!  I knew I was taking a risk by not taking a spot when I had the chance, but I didn't want to keep someone else from getting a spot they needed, if I didn't really think I was going to let her go.
At any rate, I got a call about 2 weeks before school started that the wonderful director at the school had found a way to let her into the class I wanted.  I'm glad she did, because Elizabeth seems so much bigger and "more ready" for something like that than she did in January!  She definitely wants to do what the big girls are doing more and more.

 I've got my back pack and my lunch box, and I don't really know what's happening, but I'm ready to go.





Elizabeth is a Busy Bee this year!  Abby Kate and Christa were both in this exact same class at age 2, although the teachers have changed.  She cried for a brief moment when I left, as she always does, but they said she was fine in no time at all.  When I picked her up, she said she had "fun in cass."
