Lilli Goes To School

Thursday August 15th Lilli went to school. We saw her off on the bus, then I left Carmi, Jared, and Nadia with our friend Janet. I walked over to the school to snap a few pictures (It's super close, it takes about 8 minutes to walk there, Lilli is on the bus for about 15 minutes in the morning and 10 in the afternoon). I nearly missed Lilli, it was crazy with kids and parents everywhere. Luckily another friend of ours was there and saw Lilli and managed to get through the crowd to tell me and I caught up with her right as they were walking into the building. I didn't get a picture but the principal was out directing traffic in his suit. It was pretty awesome!

Lilli has Mrs. Wallace. I was really excited because I had several people tell me to request her and since she is so popular I wasn't sure Lilli would get her.

It was a pretty sad couple of days for Carmi, she kept asking if we could go get Lilli and I had to keep telling her it wasn't time. She finally stopped asking (and crying) about halfway through this week. I think she is going to be overjoyed next year when she gets to go with Lilli.

Totally random, but Lilli had some beads she cut into sections and made a bracelet for Nadia, she even put it on her by herself.

It sure is quiet around the house now with Lilli gone all day, Carmi and Jared have really been enjoying playing together even though they miss Lilli. I sure hope that all we've taught Lilli about who she is and her potential stick with her for the next 13 or so years of school and her associations with a lot of people.
