Annabelle started preschool last Thursday in this rockin outfit from Aunt Stacie. She looked so damn sweet in her Old Navy sailor outfit, backpack in hand. She hasn’t said a whole lot about it even though we tried to question her several times. She likes it, she was anxious to go back today. So I am guessing that is a good thing.
A few months ago I received a phone call from a woman checking on our address here at work, she needed the information because she was opening a Montessori Preschool on the first floor of our building. It seemed like fate was sending me one of those messages as I had been wondering if I should be looking into school for Annabelle. With the onset on cold weather she was no longer spending her afternoons outside and the confinement proved to be a bit taxing on everyone.
Although we had gone to an Open House the weekend prior I still was anxious about our first drop off. I expected some tears, at least a bit of clinging but no, all I got was a ½ wave as she moved on to check things out.
So it’s all good, our mornings go much smoother than I expected, I enjoy the company on my commute and I have the satisfaction of her getting some educational exposure along with socialization skills while I am still close enough to be there in 2 minutes if needed.
I’ll admit to being a bit melancholy, some days I can’t believe my little baby is such a big girl but mostly I think this time in our lives just so cool.

I just can't believe she is old enough for preschool. They grow up so fast. Enjoy every minute. Courtney is now 13 and I love remembering back to this special time
How awesome that she’s in the same building as you!!! I’ve jokingly said I need to open a daycare in my building … only part of me is joking though.
