Preparations began in mid-July with school supply shopping. I planned to wait until later, but some experienced mom friends suggested that it was easier to go ahead and do it before the stores got crowded. We got everything on the list and put it in a box in the closet, away from curious hands.
Claire and I shopped online for backpacks, and she quickly picked a pink backpack with a butterfly applique from Lands' End. No, she did not want her name or monogram on it. "Just the butterfly, Mommy." I did sneak in a monogram on the matching lunch bag. Also put away until the week before school.
Two weeks before school, we spent several days in San Diego (photos to come!), so we were in full get on a good schedule/get ready for school mode the week before the big day. Last minute shopping, appointments, and a hair cut by Aunt Carol.
Meet the Teacher night was on Thursday (and I can't believe I didn't take any pictures!). We got to see the classroom, drop off school supplies, meet Mrs. Bacon, sign up for the PTA, etc. She was ready!
