"cole nuevo"

enjoying a little before-first-day-of-school snack. yes, she still drinks milk from the bottle. i know, i know...

Wednesday was Emilia's first official day of school, though it was a short day. She went in at the usual time of 9:15 but dismissal was at 10:45 (more on that later). She was so excited that her first day of "cole nuevo" (short for "colegio nuevo" or "new school") had finally arrived that we didn't even see any tears.

making her "carita feliz" (happy face).

really need to photoshop the bottle out of this one.

outside first day photo shoot - rockin' a fancy epk dress we bought her in quito - it was the first day after all. we're going for a more casual look now.


at the front door of school. honestly, there was a line of mamas (mostly) and some dads taking turns taking their kid's pic in front of the door. gotta love those darn episcopalians and their red doors!
one last smile

in her classroom. the school policy is that you (the parent) stop at the door and let them walk in on their own. i think this was the point when emi realized i wasn't coming with her... looking a little worried and the bottom lip was quivering a bit, but there were no actual tears.

i was late (yes, on the first day) to pick emi up from school. i felt so awful that when i stopped by the bakery to pick up cupcakes for our playgroup baby shower, i just had to get her one as well, right? (red velvet btw - new for me - yummy!)

Emi looks so proud when she holds her little book bag. What a darling.

Love the dress. And...why worry about the bottle? You know Kyrie is a paci addict. We've all got our vices right?

At least she drinks milk. That's more than is happening over here.
