1st day of school

Today was Ava's first day of Preschool! She did just as great as I expected and had a wonderful day! Momma had a great day too! ;) It felt so weird not having her with me as I ran all my errands but I have to say I enjoyed every minute of it! I knew she was having a fun and in great hands.

I made her a special lunch with all her favorite things

And when I went to put it in her lunchbox I saw this sweet note from daddy

I asked if she could give me a thumbs up and this is what she did. We'll have to work on that (especially for Gig'em Aggie purposes) but for now we'll just say she was holding up the #1 for the 1st day of school!

Ava and one of her teachers Miss Karen

As soon as she got her picture taken with Miss Karen she was off. I had to go in and ask her for a hug and kiss goodbye! I knew my little Miss Independent would not have a problem saying goodbye. No tears from her or momma! I thought I would be a little more emotional about leaving her but the fact that she instantly felt comfortable being there and didn't look back made me realize that we made the right decision to put her in school. She is going to love it and I will too!

On a side note about her nap. She didn't nap at school, no surprise whatsoever, but her teacher said she did stay on her nap mat the entire time. Once we got home she wanted a snack and needed to take care of some business and then I layed her down in her bed to see if she would sleep. The girl was crazy exhausted (tired sillies we call them in our house). I am happy to report she fell asleep! Not happy to have her away from me again but happy that she is getting the rest that she needs after a very exhausting day.
