Big Day!

Well, today was a big day for Abby. It was her first day of preschool. We had open house last night and she was very excited about everything. BUT....she was not happy about us having to wake her up this morning. We thought we put her to bed in time but she was still grumpy! Once we got to school, she was thrilled and said she wanted to stay. What a relief! Alan had today off, but I had to go to work. She only stays at school until noon, so Alan got to pick her up. I called her and this is how she summed up her day: They said the pledge and prayer, danced, colored a rainbow, had goldfish for a snack. She said her favorite part of the day was when they told her it was time to go "bye-bye". First, she told me she wasn't sure if she wanted to go back tomorrow but then later she said she wanted to go back. Hopefully, tomorrow will be a good day for her. I am so proud of her and how big she is getting.

We're Back!

Sorry it has taken us so long to post. Things have been busy and we have all been tired since getting back from Disney. We had a great time, especially Abby. Seeing her face when she saw Cinderella's castle for the first time was more than I could imagine. We did lots of things during our short stay: Magic Kingdom (from 8 a.m. until 10:30 p.m), Bibbidi Boppidi Boutique, Dinner in Cinderella's Castle, Chef Mickey's, Animal Kingdom, Hoop Dee Doo Musical Review, and Typhoon Lagoon. Abby's favorite ride was "It's a Small World". She rode lots of rides, met and got autographs from all of the characters. Bibbidi Boppidi Boutique in the castle was a HUGE hit. She was able to pick a princess costume, have her hair, nails, and make up done all by a Fairy-Godmother-In-Training! We were all sad to leave but look forward to doing it all again, next time with Olivia! We have posted a slide show above but there are a ton of pictures so don't feel like you have to view them all :)
