on the 1st day of 1st grade, here is what Livie did a lot of! That's right, back at it. Nana Dianne was here last week and jump-started us again! Liv has been doing wonderful with about 1 accident a day so far. She is really good at "holding it" so I think that will be to our benefit!



back to school things....
Liv and I went and picked Avery up from school today! Here she is leaving for the day!


I just can't get over how small she is in line with the other kiddos...and, she is probably older than all of them!!!


Again, she doesn't look especially happy coming out of the door. Her mind was consumed with trying to find her friend Abby who was in the room next to her. It is Abby's birthday, and she had a note to give her!!! (I caught Mrs. L in an odd look...rest assured, she is fantastic and wonderful)



Liv was so happy to see "Ya Ya!" She had a hard day at home with lots of crying. It will be an adjustment for her....



And, since photo #1 didn't work this morning, we took another one! much better, Avery!



Liv was a terror in Avery's classroom, getting into everything she could. She finally sat still for a minute on Mrs. L's chair, and had to get a photo of my little smirky girl....



all in all, it was a great 1st day of school for all of us! August 19th still seems way too early to start school, but it does mean we'll be out on May 19th....I guess that's a positive...

*****as I'm typing this, Liv is watching me. She just said, in her own little words, "i wuv ooh too, ya ya!"....melt my heart....
