Hudsen's 1st Day of Preschool

Hudsen's Barbie lunch box/purse

Today is Hudsen's first day of Preschool. She is going to The Creative Cottage Preschool, and Miss Sherry is her Teacher. She teaches out of her home and it's really nice cause Hudsen has several friends from church that go there as well. Ryan's family had this tradition that every year before school his Dad would give him and his other brothers and sisters a blessing. I totally loved that and we wanted to carry that on with our family. So last night Ryan gave Hudsen a blessing. It was so sweet. I of course peeked at her because I had to hold Clarke our crazy boy and keep an eye on him. She looked so precious. She sat very quiet and still with her eyes mostly closed but partially open. Clarke kept trying to give her her sippee cup during the middle of it but she just sat there very reverent. When Ryan was done she says, "I'm sick" :) I think she remembers getting blessings when she was sick. It was pretty funny. So she wakes up this morning at 7:30 and first thing out of her mouth was, "Mom, I'm going to school today!!!". Her school doesn't start until 10:30 so we had lots of time to kill. That was pretty tough to do with my very excited girl. So we first made oatmeal for breakfast, watched a little bit of cartoons, made her lunch together and put it in her Barbie lunch box that she picked out :) , got dressed, we painted her toe nails and finger nails, did her hair, put lotion on, Brushed teeth, cleaned up, took pictures and sang songs until it was time to leave. When we got there she grabbed her name tag and put her lunch box where it went, she gave me a kiss and said,"I love you Mom" and went right in and started playing. I was surprised I didn't cry but I was emotional. It makes me sad how fast she is growing up. Sometimes I wish she could stay little forever. We love you so much Hudsen, Mommy and Daddy are so very proud of you. You are our special girl. Love you tons our little Preschooler!!!
