"First day of school, first day of school! Wake up, Dad! We have to go to school!"

The first day of preschool has to be the saddest day ever! You go to this big place with all these new kids and say good-bye to your favorite person in the whole wide world and you're just supposed to be ok with it! Well, this Mommy was not ok with it. Lucy bounced into the room with a big smile on her face, gave Mommy and Daddy a hug, then put those sweet baby fingers up and said, "bye-bye" like it was nothing. Mommy, on the other hand, walked out crying. Thankfully Daddy will be dropping Lucy off at preschool from now on and I don't ever have to do that again! (Well, until next year.) Lucy had a great day. She was all smiles when Memaw picked her up and blew lots of kisses before telling everyone and everything in the building "bye". Unfortunately her "First Day of School Picture" is on Jeff's phone that got left at work. I'll post the pictures soon. In the meantime-she wore pink floral capris with a spaghetti strap, pink top with floral ruffles at the neckline and bows on the shoulders. She looked like such a big girl carrying her book bag (she calls it her purse) down the hall.
Jeff and I decided to start a new "First Day of School Tradition"...

Going for a special dessert after dinner to talk about her favorite part of the day. (We went to the Nestles Tollhouse Cafe.) I'm not sure what she would say her favorite part was, but I imagine it was getting to play outside. She always goes straight for the playground when we get to church and we've been telling her for weeks that when she comes to preschool, she will get to play on it 2 times a week.
I'll keep everyone posted on all of the preschool fun!
