Hailey's First Day of Preschool

After watching her brother go to school for 3 years while she had to stay home, it was finally Hailey's first day of preschool! Needless to say she was so excited! All morning she was bouncing off the walls and asking me every 5 minutes if it was time yet. Yes, it was a LONG two hours of telling her, not yet!

Finally the time arrived and we got her all ready to go. She's such a little diva - it took her at least 5 minutes to decide what to wear her first day! This is what she decided on and I thought she looked darling!


Think she's just the least bit excited?


Here she is with her ladybug backpack on.


I asked her if she wanted to get another backpack for school, but she said no. She told me this was her favorite and she wanted to use it for preschool.


After that, we headed on down the street to preschool. We're lucky to have a lady in our ward that teaches preschool and lives just down the road. It sure makes getting her there and picking her up nice and easy. Mrs Sandra is her teacher and just the sweetest lady ever! We feel very lucky to have Hailey in her preschool.

When it was time, Tate and I headed down to get her. She was all smiles and talked excitedly the whole walk home about all the fun things they did like playing with toys, reading stories, doing art, playing outside on the trampoline, and having a birthday party for a boy in the class. She was so happy, it was just so cute to see. When we got home, she showed us what she made that day. Here's the sign of her name that she was able to glue glitter and such on.


She really was proud of it and we took it up and hung it in her room.


She definitely had a wonderful first day at preschool and can't wait to go back tomorrow!


As a side note, we also finally got her hair cut as well. I was hoping to have it done before the first day, but the lady that does it had a few things going on before, as did we, so we ended up having to do it yesterday afternoon instead.

So here's the before ...


and the after. As you can see, it had grown quite a bit since we last had it cut. I've been meaning to get it cut for months now, but thing after thing kept coming up and then we had the baby which postponed it even more, but we finally got it done and boy does it look cute!


These aren't the cutest pictures - I think she's a little tired of having her picture taken because every time I take more than a couple of pictures, I get the "painful grin" as the smile.


Oh well, at least you can see it - it turned out great and fits her little personality so perfectly! Yesterday was definitely a fun day - and we can't wait for preschool tomorrow!
