Well, we made it to Arkansas in one piece and now that I have unpacked EVERYTHING, I have time to blog again. Sipsey's last day of school was Friday 10/29. It was a sad day for me since she had been there since she was 3 months old (April 2008). I feel like it was such a huge piece of our lives and after one day, it would all come to an end. We felt comfortable there, knew all the teachers who had cared for her since she was a baby, and Sipsey had friends that had been there with her from the beginning!
Although out of focus, here is Sipsey on her first day of daycare at 3.5 months old:
And at 5 months on her first day of the Creepers class:
She was pitiful and pretty much cried like this everyday I dropped her off. Even as a toddler, she still clung to my leg most days.
She was all better as soon as I picked her up.
Sipsey's class was having a Halloween party for lunch, so I hurried over to the school and strapped my camera to my face to take as many photos as possible. :) Sipsey wanted to be a tiger for Halloween. She told me that she wanted to say, "ROAR!" to everyone. I found her costume (one size too big) at Old Navy for $10. ALL the other girls in her class were princesses, angels, or Dora, but my child wanted to be a tiger. We haven't exposed her to all the tacky shiny princess garb yet. Money well saved!
And perhaps the most precious pictures of friends in my photo library, here are Sipsey and Anna June together one last time. They were so proud of their matching backpacks:
