First Day of School - 4 Year Old Preschool

LOVE this confidence! May it last a lifetime!

The first day of school has come and gone and we are now about a month into the school routine. Elliana has made the transition beautifully from all Mommy, all the time, to school four days a week for four hours a day. That's a big adjustment for a little girl! I miss my little girl and helper during the school week, but LOVE the excitement we all have when we pick up Elliana and watch the girls reunite. Somehow they have more patience and love toward each other when they have been apart for a few hours.

 This year we marked the first day of school with a little chalkboard that advertised what she wants to be when she grows up. I couldn't help but feel happiness and pride as Elliana frequently tells me she wants to be a Mommy when she grows up. Given I constantly feel like I'm winging this motherhood thing, I'm hoping this is a sign that I'm doing something right. :)

I love when Elliana comes home from school and talks about the bible verses and stories she's learned and the friends she's made. The year ahead holds lots of new adventures including her first field trip next month!
