First Day

Today was Sonya's first day of school.  Really it was an intro day for parents and the kids.  The real deal is on Monday, but I talked it up to get her excited.  When Sonya walked into her classroom, she couldn't even speak.  It is amazing!!  There is a wooden play kitchen, play-dough table, easels set up with chalk, a train table, puppets, dress up cabinet, shelves with books and a tree house.  That's right, a tree house in the classroom.  There is even more to see and do, but I didn't want to overwhelm her on the first day.  I wanted to make sure my girl was OK.  I needed to follow her lead to make sure she was comfortable, and once she got a princess dress on it was smooth sailing.  We are so excited for this school year, and I think Sonya is too.

Here she is on her first day.

She said I could only take one picture, but I tried to take a few more.  

This was the result.

Her backpack is too cute with her initials on it, and it is her favorite color blue, of course. 

Her little legs in a big chair at Chapel.

Finally a smile for mama.

Here is to a great year big girl!!
