Show and Tell

Earlier this week, Reese was supposed to take something "square" to school.  We decided on dice but couldn't put our hands on her Phase 1 game that morning (and I was in a hurry).  I suggested she take a book, but she nixed me on that one.  I even tried a book that talks about shapes 'cause there are all kinds of squares in there, but she put the kaboodle on that one too.

Finally, it was decided that T would help her find something to take.  I left for work and promptly forgot all about the "something square" until I picked her up from school and the following conversation ensued:

Reese:  "Hey, guess what I took to school today that was square."
Me:  "Ummm..."
Reese:  "I took a tile"
Me:  "What?"
Reese:  "Daddy gave me a tile to take.  And, guess what else he gave me."
Me:  "I honestly have no idea."
Reese:  "A piece of that scratchy stuff you use in the garage."
Me:  "You mean sandpaper?"
Reese:  "Yep, sandpaper.  They come in square shapes."

Something tells me that choosing Show and Tell items is not T's forte...at least he didn't send her with the tool (which is arguably a square, and could "technically" qualify, but might be a little confusing if you're like 4 or something!)



Reese's first day of school

She was up at the crack of dawn...

The plan was for T to take her and I'd leave work and meet them there for pictures and to get her settled in.

T said she was ready long before him and kept asking if it was time to go.  We took pictures in front of the school before walking her in.

We helped her find her cubby and then she was gone.  Narry a kiss or goodbye.  Our girl has flown from the nest.

Can't wait to see her tonight to find out how her first day went.  For me, it's bittersweet - I'm really excited that school has started, but she's my baby...how can she be in school already?
