I was more nervous than Lilly was for her first day of school. I started panicking a little last night. What if she wouldn't eat her breakfast and then she would be starving until lunch? I walked around the house getting things ready, worrying all the while.
What if she wanted to play ponies in the morning but couldn't because she had to go to school?? She did want to play ponies, but the excitement of school was way more enticing.
She woke up and ran into my room to ask if she had woken up early enough to get ready. We had a special breakfast (which she did not eat!!) and then got dressed in her new school clothes and shoes.
She carefully packed her backpack and lunch bag that grandma sent.
She insisted on taking two cups, one for juice and one for water. She also took her white blankie for nap time. On our way to school we saw a friend, she rolled down her window and shouted "I'm going to school!!"
We arrived to school at the same time as her friends from church. It was like the momarazzi hit town with all the pictures.
Mrs. Benjamin was all smiles taking pictures with the kids. When it was time for me to leave Lilly was a little clingy, but no tears. Hopefully we will both have a great first day of school!

Priceless photos! Her teacher looks wonderful and from what I can see of the classroom, I definitely approve.
She is the cutest preschooler ever! I can't wait to see my Lilly! I hope she has the best first day of school ever!
Oh yes, and that's called self fulfilling prophesy... the whole not eating and playing with ponies thing ;).
So Cute! Is the backpack she has on the preschool size or regular?? I was looking at pottery barn and i wasnt sure what size to get her...
Kyla - it's the preschool size backpack. Fits perfect.
Tell Lilly she looked fantastic for the first day of school!
Oh, Lilly looks so great! I hope the tears were only on her part. I remember Mark's first day and I was a nervous wreck and he was fine. I hope Lilly's day was, too.
