My Baby's Back in School!

What a day! After having Alex all to myself all summer, I found myself getting pretty sad at the thought of her going back to school today. But she was really excited to go. (I'm sure Mommy's not nearly as entertaining as a classroom full of 2 year-olds, not to mention two doting teachers with boundless energy!) She was such a big girl getting ready to go this morning with her lunch box and back pack. I really wanted to snap a few more shots, but it was raining on us, so we had to hustle to the car!


I couldn't resist a few quick shots in the classroom. First, Alex hoarding the plastic strawberries - she's very protective of her "ingredients."

Then, a brief diversion with the hand saws. She actually picked these up, approached me and said she wanted to give me a check-up...maybe we need to switch pediatricians!

Then, she settled in on the climber/slide and she was a happy camper!

About this time, I heard another little girl who was being dropped off asking her mommy to come in and play. I heard the mom try to make the argument, "Sweetie, I can't stay. Do you see any other mommies in the..." she broke off when she spotted me still hanging out and shooting away. I took this as my cue to leave! Alex obliged me with a kiss and then she was back to the slide. Clearly, I was having more separation anxiety than she!
