ON YOUR MARK...

GET SET....

ALMOST ready for Kindergarten!!!!!

Today was Sophia's orientation as a Kindergartener!!!! Sooo hard to believe she is already school-age!!!!! We all know how difficult change is for me....but my Sophia......is FEARLESS! I'm so proud of her...she walked right into her classroom and began her work! I don't think she even noticed when we left the room! Hopefully things will go this smoothly when she begins on Wednesday!

Here are some pictures of MY Sophia (3 of the 6 girls in her class share the same name!!!), and I must say she is the cutest Sophia I know :)





And of course...I had to get a shot of her already hard at work in her new classroom...



And the mailman delivered a surprise at the end of the day....Sophia's brand new backpack! I was late in ordering b/c of course I couldn't decide if I wanted to spend the money on this custom-made backpack.... I went back and forth.... IMAGINE that!!! Anyway...when I finally made the decision....AND paid extra to rush the order....I was told the earliest it would arrive was Wednesday afternoon. I had already prepared Sophia that she would have to use her "old" backpack (that still looks brand new by the way...) for one day before her new one arrived....so you can imagine how thrilled she was that it came early. I got some pictures of her with it...and of course when I told her to "turn around" so I could capture the back, too, little brother "copycat" started turning around too:)






I do like the backpack.... I guess I made the right decision... with only one mistake...should I have personalized it with Sophia S.??????? (One of those other Sophia's might love it as much as I do!! :)

That backpack is too cute. I can't believe school is already starting. Time goes by waaaaaay too fast! Nothing got me more excited than picking out new school supplies every year! haha...YAY!

I am still crying! When I saw her yesterday---all those old feelings swept my heart. She is my precious. I cannot believe I was holding her in my arms --- let me see---wasn't it yesterday. I just know she'll have a good year. Our Sophia a kindergarten girl! NO WAY!!!! :-) <3
