Sophie's First Day of (Summer) School

Sophie started "Summer of the Son" this week at preschool which in reality was pretty much the first day of school. She missed the first day of school because she had a slight fever but by day 2, she was ready for the new adventures awaiting her! It's a great big world out there ....

Ready for her first day of school!

In the classroom ....

It's hard to believe that my sweet baby, my first born, was heading off to school ... and this mommy was at least slightly anxious. I wondered if we had made the right decision to put Sophie in the summer program - it was going to be the longest period time I had ever left her so many days at a time ... but in the end, I know the parental side of me having a panic attack. Everybody has to grow up sometime ... even my own little baby.

The end of Day 1!
Sophie had SO much fun!

And as is tradition in the Lee house ... spaghetti dinner the first day of school. Always has been since my first day of kindergarten and t's fun to pass this tradition onto my own kiddos.


Miss Jessica, the head preschool teacher in Sophie's class, sent an email with photos of the first week of school ... try to find Sophie (hint, she's the two eyes behind the curly head blonde in a green t-shirt!)


And you wonder what Blake did during the 3 hours he had without his sister ....

The major bonus of Sophie being in school is getting to spend some alone time with Blake. Until now, the only alone time I had spent with Blake was taking him to doctor and the few hours he spent in the hospital when we thought he had pnemonia. He's such a happy little guy and seems to love the one-on-one attention ... and I'm happy to be able to spend time with my little guy ...
