Lulu's first day of school

Yesterday was Leila's first day of school, and she had an absolute blast!  Tony and I were the first parents out the door, because after a couple of (quick!) kisses she politely said "Ok, mommy and daddy I'm ready for you to go now."  What a difference a year makes.

For the very few minutes we were there I did manage to snap a couple pictures.

She posed in front of one of the (in her words) "Gingerbread kids" in the parking lot, and allowed me to take a picture of her washing her hands, while singing the hand washing song.

After we walked in her room she said hello to the teacher and ran over to the pink play-doh, and after a minute of that to the circle.

We're so happy that preschool has become such a fun thing for Leila.  It's a nice, little break for us too :)

Just for comparison, here's a picture of Leila this year and last year in the same paperlili shirt:

Hmm....I don't remember telling her she could get so big!
