Dog Days of School

Isabelle started school this year. I don't know where the time went and how it is possible that my baby is old enough to leave me for three days a week to go to school. The first day was a lot harder on mommy and daddy than on Iz...especially daddy. We both shed a tear or two as we watched her take hold of her new teachers hand and walk away from us. However, she is LOVING every minute of school. The teachers were so impressed with her vocabulary and understanding of new concepts that they moved her from the three year old class to the four year old class. I am amazed at the things she comes home to tell me everyday. She is learning and growing so much. She knows all her letters and numbers to 20. At home we are working on writing the letter and learning all the sounds. I think she's a genius, but i may be a bit biased!

Growing up, we used to have a 'fashion show' before school where we would model our new school clothes for our grandma, aunt and cousins. I thought it would be fun to continue this tradition with Iz. So, a few days before school we went over to gramma and grampas to 'mobel' (as Iz calls it) some of her new school clothes.

After these pictures, I've posted a few of her first day of school. Do you think she likes the camera?
