Hannah 1st Day of School

Hannah started school a couple of weeks ago and I forgot to post the pictures until tonight when I downloaded the camera!

Hannah had been asking since Jack and Will started school back in August when it would be her turn. I think we started the 18 day countdown. On the 1st day she was very excited but not in the mood to shoot our required "first day of school front step" picture. She had all kinds of excuses like the sun being in her eyes, the dog was too close and her hello Kitty wanted to be with her. I managed to take a couple very quickly.

She is in the 4-year old class this year and it is hard to believe that she will be in Kindergarten next year. I always just felt that she would be home with me forever. I have been told that girls do not wear dresses and bows in Kindergarten. Anyone who knows me, knows that I will be devastated by this so I am going to get in all of the frills and fluff I can this year. Hannah is already starting to buck the bows unless they are on a headband and getting her to wear cute little pony tails almost never happens. She tells me that they are for babies. I pretend to cry when she refuses but I don't force it. I will save my battles for when she wants to wear a crop top to 1st grade. I tell her that I am going to sleep in her bed and hold her tight so she cannot grow any bigger.

P.S - Yes, it was 95 degrees on the 1st day of school but Hannah wanted to wear her winter vest.
