A New First: Preschool

Julia has officially started preschool! Yes, she is three...or if you ask her, four. She is growing up way too fast! Although I don't have too many pictures for memories (she moves too much with her quick model moves...most pictures turn out blurry), I have plenty stored in my heart.
Julia was so excited to start preschool...She has been waiting so long. Too long in her opinion. If she had a choice, she would have started Kindergarten with Alex last year. Julia is a social butterfly, she loves to be creative, and she loves to sing...All the qualities necessary to be a successful preschooler.
Imagine my shock when on the first day of preschool she did not storm in to her classroom with shear confidence. Instead she clung onto me like a little monkey...There were several of Julia's classmates crying and carrying on and I could read the writing on Julia's face..."Wait a second?? I was looking forward to this...Why are they crying?? Maybe I shouldn't 'like' preschool...Maybe this is something to fear..."
It took some coaxing, but she finally let me go and she hasn't looked back since. Julia loves preschool and she loves her new best friend, Gabriella. She is having some awesome experiences such as field trips, wiener roasts, and is about to have her first class party for Halloween. She is waiting for more...I, however, would just like to take this moment and freeze time. It is just going by...way...too...fast!
