Our BIG "2" Year Old...

Today was Anna Lauren's 1st day of school, which to us means a new teacher and some new friends. No worries...Holli Grace (GG) is still in her room, but she did get separated from some of her other precious little friends...fortunately, all the 2 year olds will be together in the cafeteria and on the playground so they they will still see each other a good bit even though they are not in the same class.

She was all smiles as she headed off to her "big girl" class today and Daddy managed to drop her off with no tears being shed. She ran right up to her new teacher and was happy to be there!

In this class she will learn her colors, numbers, and alphabet. Not only will she know her numbers and alphabet, but she will be able to recognize each number and letter in order as well as out of order. Now...that is just amazing...kids are so smart these days! Matt and I are so excited as it will be a fun adventure to watch her mature and learn over the next year.

Per Ms. Tammie, her new teacher, she had a great day and seemed to really enjoy her new class!

On a side note, we put a twin bed in Anna Lauren's room this weekend...for the first time in 4 months, she slept on the bed rather than a pallet on the floor. We are going on night #3 in the bed...we shall see what comes of this. No pictures of the new bed...still trying to get the bedding in place...it is a a little ghetto right now! And...she seems to be completely potty trained...woo hoo...that was easy!

Anna Lauren and Mommy before we left for school and work...she refused to take a picture by herself...I'm telling you, you never know with this kiddo!
