Elaina's First Day of Preschool!




Well, I am sad to say it has been too long since I updated my blog. :( I guess that is what happens when your a busy mama. LOL. Today, However, was a momentous occasion I just have to share, Elaina's first day of preschool. :) My baby is not a baby anymore.

She was super excited to start school, we have been talking to her about the new playground she gets to play at and the new friends she is going to make. I had an incline she was not going to be aprehensive about it anyway, because that would be out of charcter for her. She is a very outgoing little toddler and loves to meet new friends and everything, so I was not surprised that she was not at all nervous or crying (Daddy was the nervous one and Mommy did the crying).

When walked her back to her classroom she told us "Mommy, I like my new sshh-cool". She was so busy checking everything out that the teacher sort of reminded her " aren't you going to say bye-bye to mom and dad?" then she gave us each a big hug and kiss and off we were.

Her first of school went so great. We received a parent's report at the end of the day that said she eat well and slept well and makes friends easily. It mentioned what type activites they did with her and everything which is so great. I could not be more proud of her.

Faith, Trust, and Pixi Dust

Tonight James and I watched "Return to Neverland" with Elaina. She was so into it and would ask questions like "where going" when the ship sailed into the sky to Neverland, and when I asked her what was going on at a certain point of the movie she would reply "thay sad" in her adorable baby voice.

After the movie was over we went upstairs to put on our pajamas then came back downstairs so I could fold some laundry. Then, as I sat on the couch folding laundry, Elaina started running around the living room singing "I can fly, I can fly" & "Tinkerbell fly, fly, fly" with her arms stretched out. I was so amazed that she just did it all on her own. I glanced over at James, and we both smiled and giggled at her together like proud parents. It was the sweetest moment and definitely the highlight of my day! I love that she is getting older and using her imagination. It is a beautiful sight to see and makes me feel like a kid all over again too!

I think sometimes the simplest moments in life make the fondest memories! All you gotta do is have a little faith, trust, and pixi dust and you too can fly! ;)

Lots of Love to you, Elaina! (my little Tinkerbell)
