Poppy's Golden First Day...


THE GOLDEN SHOES...

The Golden girl...

This is how I left her...completely content.
I either raise well adjusted children who have no problem leaving their mother...or I have terrorized them so much that they are happy to escape my company. I'm thinking the latter. Howeve,r I do love that they are excited to see me at the end of their day. After biking over to get Poppy from pre-school (I got held up at a light, yes the one light between here and there, I was the last parent to arrive)...she asks me "why did it take you soooo long to get here?" I was only 2 minutes late.
She had a great first day. She said on her note that they sent home, that she was special "because she is nice". What a cute girl.
When I arrived back home and put Hazel down for her nap, it was eerily quiet. So quite in fact, that instead of surmounting my abundance of stacked up projects, I took a nap. I like to think I was much more productive after said nap, but probrably not. It did feel nice though.

I'm so happy to hear that she liked pre-school. It is always nice to know that they like it there too. Hailey starts next week, she seems super excited, I guess we will wait and see how it goes.

I wish for a nap everyday! I hope that you get more, moms just never get enough down time!

it's no surprise that Poppy has adjusted well. She is always the life of the party. And afternoon naps are the best thing ever.

Those shoes are awesome! Where did you get them? On second thought, don't tell me. I might buy them for Grace and then she'd never take them off. Let us know any time you're up here. We'd love to see you!

Popster in pre-school? She can't be that old yet.
Naps-way under-rated!
Good for you.

naps and dark chocolate are just about my favorite things
