Bigger right before my eyes!





We have a first grader now! I can't believe it! Sabree is getting so big. She started first grade today and you wouldn't believe how excited she was. The school provided breakfast for students and family members this morning. Oliver, Jaylee and I went to breakfast with Sabree and got to see Grandma Adams who works in the lunchroom at the elementary. After breakfast we visited the class room and met Sabree's teacher, Miss Weight. She is the tiniest person. If she hadn't had high hills on she would have only been a head taller than Sabree. I've heard great things about her, she'll be a great teacher for Sabs. After school the first things we heard about were lunch (chicken nuggets) and recess 3 times. She was actually a little bugged that she had to go to recess three times, she would rather learn!

Later that afternoon Oliver visited with the speech therapist at the school. After the evaluation she informed us that Oliver's speech in normal for his age. He's a smart little kid! He starts preschool in 2 weeks and he is so eager to learn. We've been practicing shapes, colors, letters and numbers. Today the letter of the day was "P". He walked around all day laughing while he made the sound of the letter P. He'd say "PPPP Pee on the Potty". He such a little boy! He makes everyone smile that he comes in contact with!

After speech testing, we were driving home and Sabree decided she wanted her hair cut as soon as possible. So we stopped at a salon on the way home. Her hair is just above her shoulders now and she loves it. "It's so light now mom, I love it!"

To finish the day, we noticed that Jaylee is finally getting her teeth. We noticed one tooth about a week ago just breaking the surface and today we noticed a second. Our family is changing and growing up quickly!

Tell Sabs I love her hair! It's so pretty and grown up. Perfect for a first grader!
