Preschool Orientation

Yesterday was Aspen's preschool orientation. She looked so adorable, so I had to snap a few pictures. She was soooo cute when we were there. We met her two teachers, who seem really awesome. She got to play with some of the other kids and with all the awesome toys. The highlight for her was definatly the sandbox. I had a pit in my stomach the whole time becuase I know that on Thursday I am going to have to drop her off for the first time......She will do great, I have no doubt in my mind about that, its me that I am worried about, LOL! I just can't believe that my baby is already old enough to be going to preschool. She looks so adorable sitting in the little chairs at the table, eager to learn. She even used the big potty while we were there :). After her orientation, Justin and I took her out to lunch and then to buy a new backpack. They had the cutest "Hello Kitty" backpack that I wanted her to get, but she didn't want anything to do with it. For some reason she fell in love with the ugliest backpack in the $5 bargain bin at Walmart. I had promised her that she could pick out her very own backpack, so what was I supposed to do? I had to let her get the one she wanted....and it is HUGE! It is so funny to watch her try to wear it....it literally almost touches the ground when she has it on. Her teachers asked specifically that we get her a full size backpack rather than the little kid mini ones.....so unfortunatly she has to have one that is WAY too big for her. We also took her to get a few new outfits for school. We had a great day and definatly started a tradition that we will continue from here on.
