Ashton's First Day At Killearn Kids Preschool

You know those times when you think you are right and then you realize just how wrong you are??? Well, that was me last year when I KNEW that Ashton would be starting Kindergarten this year and I was 100% positive that there would be NO other options. I of all people should know that just when I think I have it all figured out, that my plans are not always the best plans.

Fast forward to Monday and my sweet girl started a new school (Killearn Kids Preschool) and couldn't have been more excited! We decided to wait one more year before putting her in Kindergarten and on day 3, I am even more confident than before in the choice that Trey and I made. And don't get me wrong, there were many sleepless nights, lots of going back and forth and tons of praying before making that decision, but I am 100% confident in it!

This sweet thing was so excited that she woke up at 6:30 Monday morning and couldn't wait for us to leave the house. She was so ready for school!

Thank you PawPaw for her super cute dress.

Oh how I love this little stinker!!!

One of the added benefits of giving Ashton another year is that she will now be in the same grade with all of the kids that she has grown up with. Because her birthday beat the cutoff by 2 days (yes, just 2 days) she was going to be a year ahead of everyone.

And this year is special because she gets to be with her BEST bud since birth, Sam! He was the first person she looked for on the first day of school and has been the first person she has looked for each day since then. Today I even got to walk them in to school together and Ashton was so excited.

Ashton will surely miss her sweet teachers at Wildwood, but luckily she got two new awesome ones.

Ashton's other very sweet teacher is Mrs. Adams, but I sadly didn't get a picture of them together.

YaYa had cheer practice really early Monday morning so we weren't able to get a picture of the girls together before school, but we got one as soon as she got home.

Sweet Sisters

YaYa was so excited to hear about Ashton's first day and Ashton was just as excited to tell her all about it.

These two melt my heart!

My sweet, little Ashton, I cannot wait to see the growth that this year brings. I know you are going to continue to flourish and build upon all of the things that you learned last year. I love you a bushel and a peck and a big ol hug around the neck...and I ALWAYS will!!!
