Sigh. Its going to fast...

The girls growing that is. I'm not ready for them to grow up. I really enjoy the age they are at. Minus the screech owl part. The rest I can handle. I don't like that they are going to be at school full time before I know it. Heck Leia has about a year and a half to go. the thought of her being off on her own for 6 hours kinda freaks me out. The only good thing I can find about that is I will have 6 HOURS TO DO AS I WISH! I will be bored after 3...

So Ivy started at Miss. Shelley's, the same school Leia just graduated from. (That sounds silly, my 3 year old graduated) Needless to say her first days havent been as easy as Leia's first days there were..I totally called that though. Plus Shelley knows her outside of school so she saw it coming to.
Not that she was bad she just wanted a lot of holding and comforting. Also, she didn't want to invite anyone into her bubble. That didn't just mean her personal space but the general vicinity of where she was. Second day seemed to work better for her though. So I think eventually she will LOVE school. But, shes stubborn, like her Daddy ;-), so she is going to have to learn to like it on her own terms...I am glad we only went with 2 days a week instead of three. With Ivy 1 day is a BIG difference.

Leia was supposed to start at lake anne school but
we moved we switched her to Frying Pan Park. This is where I originally wanted her to go and am very happy she is now going there. I mean its on a farm. How cool is that. Having grown up in Vegas all my school were in a desert. Sorry not as cool as a farm. I would think being a 3 year old and going to school on a farm would have a bit of magic to it. Plus the actual school house is full of history and its just full of awesome all the way around. She has already gotten to go see the animals up close and personal.  Not that she hasnt already seen the animals a million times as this is one of my more favorite places to take them.
Leias first day of school went awesome. The teachers loved her and told me how polite she was and how well she followed direction. She even got to be the line leader!!! She was very proud of herself and is totally in love with her new school. She misses her friends from Shelley's though and asks quite often if they are going to come to her new school.

So although my girls are growing I do enjoy these little milestones. I just wish they didn't come so darn quickly....
