1st race of 2014

Like last year I'm gonna attempt to do a race a month in honor of Rea...in honor of those who can't. This is my first race of the new year and is for the month of January! It's a virtual race. I'm either running a 5k or 10k but haven't decided! It was inexpensive and the proceeds go directly to the children's cancer care for the St. Louis Children's Hospital! 

Rea's 1st time on a bus

PRESCHOOL

The day has come.

Rea is 3!

It's time for preschool.

 

We were soo hesitant. We were initially turned off by the location. But we also knew we couldn't let the location stop her from the opportunity to learn and grow. So we let her go. And she's going to start taking the bus too!!!

 

This little girl is about to go to bed. She's got a BIG day ahead of her! I can't believe she's starting preschool tomorrow!!! How can this be?! Time has gone by way too fast! Oh Rea it's time for you to learn and grow yourself as you have and continue to teach mama and papa new things every single day. I'm excited for you!!! We love you!!!!

 

 

I asked her if she was excited about starting school today.

I think her face says it all!!!

And there she goes with her teacher Ms. Jessica. She was sleepy. I'm excited for her! Didn't cry by Peyton was the one who cried and didn't want to leave her little sister!

Peyton's a proud parent...I mean sister-haha!!! She has the biggest heart for Rea! She's her #1fan and she's the one who protects,cares and roots for Rea. I see a special ed teacher in the future! She was so sad to leave her. She cried and cried!!!

And we have a Rea back! Her teacher said she did a great job! Sadly she slept for the first 20min-hehe!!! But other than that she did great and she wore her #bilateralafos the whole time without fussing!!!

2nd day of preschool
