My Pre-schooler

This was my kitchen counter last night. Outfit - check, backpack - check, lunch made - check. I'm sure I'll be that organized and ready for every single day of school this year. Ha!

I thought I'd be a super mom and make Cassidee (what I thought was) her favorite breakfast before school. I got up early and made pancakes. She likes it when I make shapes. I tried the letter C, I tried Micky Mouse (that looked like a heart), but in the end I stuck with what I do best, circles!
To my surprise and slight frusteration, she came downstairs and said "Huh, I wish I was having biscuits." Alrighty! She got on board with the pancake idea after I let her lick some of the batter out of the bowl. SOOOO SUPER GROSS! She's a weirdo!



I used the circle ones to make a snowman and used chocolate chips for the facial features.

She just ate the chocolate chips!
And, only a 3 year old can get chocolate on her forehead!





Showing off her "C" pancake.





The next few pics are the same. I want to take her picture the same every year she starts school, but I didn't know where to do it. So I took a couple in a couple of places.







She was soooo ready to get in the car. It was hard to get her still.






But seriously, how come she looks like she is going to first grade to me?!







This was the picture she wanted. She said she is holding her back pack straps like Dora...
O-Kay!?!?









Cutie girl with her daddy and stinker bubba that wouldn't look at mommy!


***She had a fabulous day. She called me and said:
"Momma, it was soooo great. We played with dominoes, blocks, and cars. And we played on the playground and I wanted to do the tire swing and my teacher said come in. And we went potty and the girls didn't have paper. And everyone eats too fast and I didn't eat my lunch."
(She is a super slow eater and finished her lunch in the car on the way home!)
She topped off her day with Chicken Express and cupcakes at home!
It was a great day for my 3 year old!

Cass looks so cute! And you're right...I also think that she looks much older - like a first grader! I can't believe how big she is getting!

Trust me, it's NOT only 3 year olds who gets chocolate on their foreheads. Riley is almost 7 and something like that happens on pretty much a daily basis.

Cass looked so super cute for her first day of preschool and you did such a great job making sure her day was special. Yay Cass and Mommy! Miss you guys SO much!

OMGoodness she looks SO BIG!!!! Yay for preschool!! Cute cute pics. And you definitely win Mom Of The Year for getting up and making fun pancakes. We will more than likely just eat cereal around here before school. But maybe you inspired me! :) We'll see, come Thurs. :)

AWESOME!! I love the pictures and story. I always take my kids first day pictures outside on the front porch. It is neat to see how much they grow from year to year. Zach is a junior this year and he had to get up early for me! I was very thankful that he did. Hope she loves it! She is soo adorable.
