I have a BIG day tomorrow!

(No, it's not my birthday, yet.)
Tomorrow is my first day of School! I'll be going three days a week to The Malvern School. We have yet to determine if it's a good thing or not, but it's right around the corner from my house. My Daddy is going to be dropping me off and my Mommy will be picking me up!

Mommy told me I will not be able to bring my baby in to my classroom butthat  I can still bring her in the car with me and I'll get to play with her when I get home!

I'm looking forward to still being able to wear my pretty clothes! Daddy dressed me this morning and as you can see he was feeling his Hippy side!

Mommy told me instead of making messes at home, I'll be able to make them at school!

It's going to be quite a change but I think I'm going to enjoy it! I get excited when I see other kids my age and now I'll get to play with them and learn with them.

I'm going to learn my shapes, body parts, colors, animal sounds,and  new songs. I'll be learning how to say please, how to catch bubbles, and how to paint. I'll learn about musical instruments, how to paint a butterfly with my hands, and my Mommy is really excited that I'll be learning about patience! Maybe I'll even get some!

A few other adjustments I'll be making are...I'll be getting on a one nap a day schedule instead of two a day and instead of sleeping in my crib or pack-n-play, I'll be sleeping in my brand new Princess sleeping bag!

I've made the adjustment from formula over to whole milk and that is going really well! So, instead of drinking my milk out of a bottle, I'll be using my sippy cups! I'll fit right in with the older kids

Not that I didn't already have some sort of a routine or schedule, now it's going to be a whole lot more structured.
This will now be my schedule at school...
