Gabby's 1st Day of Preschool!

Gabby's first day at St. Francis and Clare went smoothly!  This school has a start time that is "early" for Gabby(7:45).  Not too bad really, however, she is normally used to sleeping in each day until 8:45/9ish.  So 7am for her came early...and the 6:30 alarm clock for me came early too!  However, much to my surprise, she woke right up and did not give Jeff or I much of a fuss when we got her ready for her first day!  We will see how she does when "early" comes tomorrow again.  

i can't believe how grown up Gabby is looking these days...

gabby was "over" the picture taking by this point.  poor thing...I think she figured she better just "cheese it" for Mommy and I would be out of her hair much faster ;).  afterall, she was ready to get to those puzzles, drawing and circle time for cryin' out loud

there she goes...she was ready for her 1st day of school! 

Gabby was excited to hear about all of the people that called to check in on how her first day of school went.  MaMa, Aunt Di, Grampy, Grammy and many friends!  She was a little upset with me after gymnastics because she was not able to talk to Aunt Di when she called in during gymnastics time. Apparantly, Gabby wanted me to come out on the mat and get her to talk to Aunt Di.  So cute!  On the way home from gym class she said, "i am so loved".  Yes you are child.  You will never know just how loved you are....

Aunt Jeanine also called Gabby on the evening of her first day of school to see how everything went.  Aunt Jeanine teaches 1st grade at St. Pius and they both started school on the same day!  So they compared stories from their first days.  Gabby had danced around the topic of what she actually did on her first day of school with me all day.  However, when Aunt Jeanine called, Gabby proceeded to tell her everything she did the entire morning at school.  Jeff and I looked at each other and smiled...glad to finally know what she actually did for three hours while she was away :).  When we hung up the phone, Gabby said, "i told "NiNi" everything I did because she was a teacher today".  I explained she is a teacher everyday at her school.  So funny!  Tonight at dinner she said, "NiNi is sooo special"!  That made my heart melt!
