Ava's first day at The Academy!

Ava's first day of school Sept. 14th (also Jeff's b-day)! She was in a great mood and seemed ready to go! When Jack got his backpack last year she got this one and wears it every day to drop Jack off at school! She finally gets to wear it to "HER" school!!


Mommm let's go, enough pics already!!

The Academy where Ava will go this year and then on to Ascension next year! This is a Montessori preschool for the Arts and I've been really impressed with the school thus far and have heard nothing but great things from alumni! There are 3 rooms that they rotate through; the first room she does ballet/music for 30mins, next room, physical fitness for 30 mins (love that they do this) and then the last hour is more of a typical preschool day (abc's colors etc...)

She helped pick out her name tag. She can recognize the letter "A" but not her full name yet. At this point I was starting to hear other kids screaming and crying! It's hard for a 2yr old to be seperated from their mom/dad at this age. I think it really helped that Ava has seen Jack go to school for awhile now.

She did Great! She put on her ballet shoes all by herself, hopped over the teacher helping the other kids and jumped right into the circle with the other 2 kids!! My BIG GIRL!!!
