This day has been a LONG time coming in Avery's eyes. Even our evening wind-down routine of pjs, reading scriptures, family prayers, and last night- Avery's first father's blessing, did nothing to calm her down. Avery had a hard time getting to sleep last night- she wanted it to be time to go... NOW. She woke up this morning wanting to shower, get dressed and GO! She tried to tell me she didn't want breakfast- thinking that would speed things up. When she realized she was stuck here no matter what, she gave in and ate a few bites of cereal. She got her backpack on and would not take it off- I wasn't able to get a picture of her without it. Though, I must say, the backpack is awfully darn cute.
I thought that once she got to school, her enthusiasm would diminish and she would go into shy mode. Not even a little bit. She got out of the car without hesitation and didn't look back. It was old hat to her. What a difference a summer makes! With that, she was off!
As soon as Avery got out of the car, Finley got really upset that she wasn't going too. Since we have been home, she has been wandering around and asking me, " reeree? where?" putting her hands up and shaking her head. I would have thought she would have been thrilled to have some time to herself, a minute where she doesn't have to watch her back for her big sister's next attack. For now at least, she is just sad that she doesn't have her built in playmate around for a few hours. I am sure she will get used to it- and maybe even start enjoying it.

I always wonder how my younger one will take it when Kai goes to preschool. Will he be sad and lonely that his best friend is gone?
That last pic of Finley is classic.
