wordless wednesday...

braidyn is a kindergartner!!

my braidyn looks 13!

bye bye hugs from mali

in front of the school. she's going to double eagle elementary school.
going right on in! and these are her teachers, mrs. rossner and mrs. cathy.
some of her new friends.
story time! mrs. rossner read the kissing hand, which is about a little raccoon who was anxious about going to school. his mother shared a family secret with him, the kissing hand. she gave him a kiss on his paw and told him to press the kiss to his cheek whenever he missed her. after the story, chris and i kissed b's hand and she kissed ours, it was too sweet!
she got after school ice cream of course!! mali was very grateful to be along for the ride!

just a little update...

...since i seem to have NO time to do this anymore!

we went to chili's friday night after we returned from sedona (a post on that will be coming soon). mali left her paci on the table and we decided not to go back and get it. that night she didn't cry when going to bed, she just wouldn't stay in her bed. chris and i were trying to watch a movie so we just figured she'd fall asleep at some point. went to check on the girls a little later to find that mali had taken off her pj's and put on a dress and had two different flip-flops on her feet. braidyn's flip-flops that is. she was fast asleep. but comfortable! of course the battery in my camera had died so i was unable to take a picture, but i wanted to post the memory anyway!

she is officially paci free and doing well. nap times are difficult (today's nap was only 45 minutes as opposed to her typical 2 hour nap) but i'm sure in a few days all will be back to normal...whatever that is :) plus she's starting school this week! kid's express preschool anyway...and only if she gets in, she's still on the waiting list!

braidyn starts kindergarten this week!! i can NOT believe this came so soon. she meets her teacher on thursday and her official first day is friday. we got her some school supplies yesterday and got a very stylish outfit for her first day. she picked out a butterfly shirt, some dark denim capris, black and purple kickers, and a super cute bright pink headband that ties in the back. you will definitely see a picture of her "first day" outfit once the day comes!
