School days

Sydney starts pre-school in just a few short weeks. She is so excited. Several times over the summer, we have gone to the school's summer orientation program. She loves her teacher and she always says she is "so pretty."

Lately I have been talking up going to school with her a lot. I explain that Sawyer and I will drop her off and that she will play with her friends and her teacher. She gets a little upset, but then I explain that I will be right back to pick her up. That seems to please her. I think she is going to be shy for a few days and maybe she will be really upset when I leave her, but she will get into a routine fast. That is just how Sydy works.

I bought a big Youth sized backpack to take with us to restaurants and on the boat. I will fill it with coloring stuff or books. Lately Sydney has been wanting to carry it around with her all the time. I have a smaller one that she will use for school, but she really wants to carry this big one around! Too funny. Here she is this morning with the backpack all strapped on! Silly girl.
