Tuesday

Today was picture day at school!

Miss Violet wore her favorite Hello Kitty dress and two cute piggy tails in her hair.

She promised me that she would smile big and show teeth for the picture.  I want her cute missing-tooth-space to show!  I am still getting used to her new smile and it is SO DARN CUTE!

School drop off has continued to be a struggle for her.  She begs me sometimes, from the moment she awakes, not to bring her to school.  She cries when we reach the door to go in.  She won't let me go from her, she holds my arm so tight.  It breaks my heart every time.

Some days aren't so bad though.  One time a friend walked her down and another time, a helpful teacher. Those days are much better for her (and ME too!).

I love her so much.  I swear I thank my lucky stars every single day for her.

Tomorrow we are attending a family picnic at her school!  I am pretty excited and nervous too.  I am so shy, Violet is so shy and her Daddy too.  But that is why we are going - to meet people and be social!  I feel like it is really important for us to be a part of her school community and so far, I am doing alright.
