1st Day of the 2nd Year of Preschool

On Wednesday, September 4th Ava started back at preschool for her second year.  She was excited and ready to go.  I have to admit I was a little excited too.  It is fun watching her learn and grow.  It is also nice to have a little bit of alone time.  Last year I cried and it took me awhile to adjust, but this year I handled it much better.  I'm sure next year when she goes to kindergarten and is in school all week it will be a different story.  That will be another big adjustment for me.

My beautiful Ava.

Ava LOVES The Magic School Bus right now, so I made her this shirt.  It says "Take chances, make mistakes, get messy."  That is one of  Ms. Frizzle's favorite quotes.  I also made her a matching flower to wear in her hair.

Ava picked out these Dora shoes.  She loves that they light up.  Can you see a few of her many mosquito bites from visiting Gridley?  Poor Girl!

Ava really wanted a picture with her backpack on.  It is the same green dog backpack from last year.
