Well, no matter how much I wanted to fight it, delay it, deny it… the time is coming! Avali is going to school!
Okay okay, to some of you two days a week may not be all that much… but I’m dying here! What kind of basket case, overprotective mom takes pictures of their kid school shopping for the first time? What kind of mom, I’m horribly embarrassed to admit this, nearly cries…in WALMART… while buying crayons? Well… that would be me.
There are moments where I do feel ready for this. The girls are fighting, a LOT, lately! Whenever one of those fights breaks out I think, “This will be so good for them!” Shortly after though, I just wonder how it is that my first little baby is going to school already! Ava and I had our “special day” today and got to have some one on one time. (Well I offered her one on one time, but she said, “I love Cooper and I want him to come with us” … but that’s what she wanted at least!) Wow what a GIRLY-GIRL she is though!!! She wanted to try on EVERYTHING! And she wanted to buy everything glittery! These are just a sampling of the outfits she modeled for Cooper and me today! You must take note *in the first picture* of the barefoot redneck baby in the cart slurpin his bottle!
… 8 glue sticks…. …. ♫ Lovin the glitter notebook ♫ ….
“I never had one of these before!” And a packer jersey for Dad!!!
The “pose” Holding up well for a full day of shopping!!
Aw, that one of her in the plaid skirt is too damn cute-and will be great to compare to her in oh, say 10 years!
Alex is starting 3 year old pre-k too, 2 hours a day for 3 days a week. I’m probably more excited to go school shopping than him:).
