My little muffin is officially a kindergartener!

I drove her into school when her bus was super late, assuming they’d never fixed the clerical mistake that had her off the bus schedule– apparently the bus came right after we left.

To be perfectly honest, driving her in on her first day was way easier on me. I got to walk her in and hand her over to the principal myself instead of worrying about her unnecessarily.

My girl marched right into that school without looking back. She’s going to have a great year.

Here she is refusing to show off the huge smile she had been wearing all morning. What a diva!

And here she is eagerly anticipating the arrival of the school bus. She was too excited to remember to hide her smile!

I miss my little muffin and the constant flapping of her mouth (seriously, I don’t think she ever stops talking during her waking hours). It’s awfully quiet around here. Can’t wait to hear how the day went!

shoes: Faded Glory (they were $3!)

In a world where money is no object and it makes perfect sense to buy expensive clothes for my juice-spilling munchkin, these are some of the pieces we’d have to pick up while back to school shopping.

A lover of glittery, girly things, the color blue and zebra stripes, I think these pieces would suit her perfectly…

Her first day of kindergarten is tomorrow and, while I said I was ready for September, I’m having some issues with this transition. I know she’s going to love it (she’s been requesting worksheets this summer), but I just can’t believe my baby is this big!
