Lilly’s First Day of School – Feb 7

The first year of school is called Prep down here and the school year starts in February. Lilly just turned 5 so she is just the right age to start school. She will be one of the younger kids in her class but when people asked if I considered holding her back and a year and I said no immediately. This girl is ready for school. She is beyond ready. She is the one that is always sitting on the librarian's feet at storytime and she always has her hand up to answer the questions. She wants to know how everything works and is intrigued by characters in stories. It was time for her to go to school! And so we sent her for her first day as a Preppie (I don't know if that's how you would spell it, but that's what these kids are called).



Seth had the day off so we were able to walk her to school together.



We went into the school and found her hook to hang her enormous backpack on. We walked her into her classroom and looked at all the different activities. She drew us a picture and built with some blocks. She was fine. There were no tears. There were no lengthy good-byes.




When we picked Lilly up we took her out for some Gelato.



We had taped the Super Bowl because I scheduled a doc appointment right in the middle of it (I know it was wrong but my planner didn’t have the Super Bowl written down). Lilly also heard us talking about it and said she wanted to watch, too. When we watched it that night we already knew who won, one of the mothers at pick up shouted it out. We still enjoyed the game although it was from Australian tv so we didn’t get to see the commercials. The next couple of pics could be offensive to some people, so be warned. We were just having fun and the bottle was empty. I promise.
