My baby is a big girl!




Leah started Pre-K a few weeks ago. In Georgia, the state funds a education program that pays for all 4 year olds to go to pre-school. it is all day school just like the big kids. No half days like I grew up with.
Leah's name was actually chosen from 89 names and is able to attend pre-k at the elementary school (everyone else has to go to a day care center). Her class has 20 children in it. She loves it!
She loves it so much that she woke me up on Saturday morning with her school shoes in one hand and an outfit in another.
She is such a social butterfly. She tells me about all her friends and what they talked about. She tells me how one shy girl is starting to talk to her now. "I asked what did she say?" Leah's answer was "she said 'Go away and leave me alone!"
Hey, well at least she talked! and Leah seemed pretty excited about it.
As you can see from the third photo, the school schedule was hard to get used to. the first few days she didn't take a nap during nap time (she of course wanted to play). She is now taking naps and going to bed around 9:30 instead of the usual 11:30-1:00!!
This school thing has been good for the whole family and our sleep schedules.

Oh my gosh! She is soooo huge! She looks so darling! I love her braids and that little back pack! Can you believe that Leah was still in your tummy when I came to atlanta? That seems like not even a year ago! Now Leah is in school! It totally trips me out. It is going to be so wierd when baby Reese goes to school!
I love the part when the shy girl told Leah to leave her alone!
