School Days

I know, I know! Jillian has been in school 3 weeks now and I am just now posting pictures from her first day! Aghh! And I am even at home most of the time. Now that is what I call procrastination! Anyhow, the first day, oddly, has been the best (as far as dropping her off). Ever since the first day she has thrown a blood-curdling fit, sometimes even before we leave the house (like this past Thursday). There was one day that she really didn't feel well, so I picked her up, but the others she is just being a regular old fit-throwing toddler! Once she is there and gets into the "groove" of things (singing, playing, art, etc) she does great and her teachers tell me how much fun she is having! Little stinker. It's just a new thing for us since she has never been like this until recently. I know that part of it is her age and the fact that the only people we usually left her with in the past were her babysitter since 5 months or her granparents. Oh, well! I have started just hugging her, kissing her, telling her I love her and that I will be back soon, and then leaving. Just like pulling off a band-aide!

All dressed up and ready for school! (Don't you just love her coordinating backpack?)

My little cheeser!
