it's happened

I've finally realized that my darling daughter is growing up. Much quicker than I thought.
Today, I finally bought her a backpack. For school.

Do you see what is wrong with that sentence?? SCHOOL.
And I realize she may not even need a backpack...but she has to have one. Because I said so.
She is three and a half, and I feel like she was just kickboxing my uterine wall last week.
And yet, she starts preschool on September 11.
She is so excited - she asks me all the time:
~ Will I meet new fwends?
~ Will I eat wunch at school?
~ Will you pick me up from school?
~ Do I go to school today? Tomorrow? NOW?

She was so giddy that I let her pick out a princess backpack, complete with a lunchbox!, that she wanted to call Chad in the store. I urged to wait until we got home...and she did. She sprinted from the van to the phone & told me to hurry up & call Daddy.

It's so cute to see her this excited.
I hope she loves her new school as much as she thinks she will!

Is it bad that they are so excited to leave us? LOL, I often wonder that :) What a big girl with her backpack ~ I hope she can use it. We get bags provided so no backpacks...
