First Day of Preschool!

August 22, 2011

First Day of Preschool!

Today was Caroline’s First day of preschool! I have been anxiously and nervously waiting for this day! Back in April when I found out the Ms. Jo was not going to be keeping kids the next school year I think I cried for a week! Partly because We Love Ms. Jo so much and I just could not imagine taking Caroline to stay with anyone else or to a daycare! ALL I Can Say is Thank Goodness for Hobson Preschool and Kindergarten! I got Caroline on the waiting list in April and she was accepted!

Well Today Was the Big Day! I got all of her things packed up and clothes laid out for the next big chapter in Miss Caroline’s Life…Preschool!

Eric and I both took her to Hobson on the first day! She walked right in with her Backpack and lunch box! She sat down at the computer and said “Bye Momma Katie, Bye Daddy!” Then we left! I thought about her all day long! Hobson is only a block away from where I work so that made it even more difficult not to leave and go over there to check on her! But I made it though the day!

When I went to pick her up that after noon she was a happy girl and she had a great first day! She made a new friend, Blake!

I love you Caroline! You are Smart and Beautiful!
Momma Katie!

Big Girl Princess Bed!

August 12, 2011

Sweet Caroline,

Exactly one week ago (August 5, 2011) was your very first night to sleep in your “Big Girl Bed”. This was a bittersweet decision and transition for me.

The night before we made the big move you woke up 6 different times through out the night! I don’t believe this has happened since you were a tiny baby! So we decided enough is enough, we all three need to get our beauty rest and thus we moved in the “Big Girl” bed. Oh how you love your bed! You refer to it as your “Princess Bed in the Castle!” You have no idea how the warms my heart! We have all been sleeping much better and your bedding is coming along. Actually last Saturday your Daddy and I went looking for bedding we could use with pieces from your crib set. This was my original plan when I had all of your bedding made. What I hadn’t counted on was that No one makes or carries anything that is semi- youthful looking in the Chocolate / Gold / Peach Color family! However I do NOT regret my color decision on bit. Those are the colors that have always come to mind for Royal Princess’ Bedding. Guess what! YOUR Daddy the Hero found the bedding for your bed! It is going to look amazing once we have the pieces I am having revamped from your crib bedding!

You and I have been having story time in your bed, playing in your bed since we moved it in! Like I said it was bittersweet for me, my Sweet Little Baby Girl is now my Sweet little Big Girl and the moving out of the Crib and in with the Queen was the end of Baby Days. Another Special Moment, Milestone! I am thankful for each and every one!

I Love you,
♥Mommy
