We've spent the last two weeks having fun with some of our best friends! Three of Ava's best girl friends will start kindergarten on Monday too. I so wish they were all heading off to the same classroom (or even school) but unfortunately that's not how it works. Play dates will be more difficult to coordinate but they will still see each other on Sundays at church and AWANA.
Mrs. Amy treated our girls with a Build-A-Bear night at the mall for their birthdays. Ava has always wanted to build a bear and it was so much fun with sweet friend Abigail. We weren't surprised that our sweet girls ended up with twin bears :-)
Ava and I decided her toes should be in good shape to start kindergarten so the two of us went to get pedicures last Monday afternoon. To say that she liked it would be an understatement!
She loved the colors and designs but I think she loved that massage chair most. She would change it up every few minutes and told me which modes I should try.
She was such a little lady and she had such a sweet spirit. She said please and thank you and turned down an offered beverage twice before finally accepting. She has grown up on me.
These little piggies are going to kindergarten!
Last night we had meet the teacher and we left Ava's school with such a sense of peace. Her classroom was so cute and her teacher was so organized and so warm. My good friend Jill reminded me this week to not let the emotions of this time overshadow the joy and excitement. So that is my prayer and I'm embracing it. I want to look back and remember that yes, there were tears. A lot of tears. But there was also backpack stuffing and school clothes shopping and talks about the friends she will make and the fun she will have. I am such a proud Mommy and I love this girl so much.
We are ready!
