Wednesday was my last "first day of preschool." Gretchen had been so excited, but I was a little nervous about it all. None of my kids have been out-going, social little people at this age... but she's probably the worst. There are people that we've known for a LONG time that have never heard this little girls voice. Shy is an understatement.
{Looking at this picture at school *may* have made me teary that morning. Just maybe.}
I took the afternoon off so that I could take her. (And Corey took a late lunch so he could meet us, too!) There were definitely some nerves...
She did so good. So, so good. I stayed for a few minutes and gave her a little countdown... "Momma's going to stay for 2 more minutes." Then 1 more minute. Then I got a big hug and a kiss on the cheek (NOT on the lips... that's been her thing for awhile now. No kissing on the lips. "Germs. Eww.") =)
We even took a quick picture. No tears from either one of us. =) Love, love, love this little girl.
I snuck a few pictures when I went to pick her up...
Starting Monday, she'll ride to preschool with Kail, her buddy from daycare. Kail's Grandma Gayle is going to take them and pick them up. (We have always been so lucky and blessed by others willing to help with preschool transportation. So thankful!)
We stopped to see Daddy at work afterwards...
She was so excited about her folder and her homework. (A picture collage of what she did this summer.)
Anxious to see the changes in this little miss as she completes her first (and only) year of preschool.
Hoping more than anything that others will start to hear this sweet little voice. =)
Just for fun...

Awwww.....wishing Gretchen could join us at Apple-A-Day! But glad she is happy and off to a good start. And thanks for the memories with the sweet pictures from Sophie and Lawson's first days at preschool. Time just won't slow down! Wishing you and your family a great school year.
