On Monday my beautiful little Pip woke up super early(by our standards!), had breakfast, brushed her teeth, had her hair done & got dressed up in her school uniform to head off on her new adventure as a school kid!
Piper was quite excited to start school, she was a tad nervous(she was worried that she wouldn't know anything - I explained to her that that was why everyone goes to school, to learn how to do stuff. She was also worried that she wouldn't be able to find her classroom. Too cute!) but eager to get on with her day.
After a few photos with us we headed off to her new school. I was so proud of my little girl, after finding where to put her bag she found her desk, sat down & got right on with the threading activity that was waiting for her. No tears from my Whippit! Since she seemed fine we all gave her a kiss goodbye were off!
I did get a little teary walking back to the car. My little girl, that tiny baby that I brought home from the hospital what seemed like yesterday was now at school. No more midweek activities together, no more pyjama days! Lily missed her quite a bit, wanting to pick her up as soon as we pulled into the driveway. But we all got through the day & were excitedly waiting for Piper when the bell rang.
By Piper's account she had a pretty good day! She played with play dough, listened to stories, played on the play equipment & was chosen to take the roll back to the office(she was pretty impressed with that!). She likes school & that makes me happy! Although she's not too impressed with the early starts!

It's kind of hard to hand them over, but such an important step to take. It takes time to adjust, and then you wonder if they were ever at home! My big boy just started grade 6 - that freaks me out!
