My baby girl is just not a baby any more.  Harper starts “school” this Thursday and she couldn’t be more excited.  Now it’s only 2 days a week, but I just cannot believe this day is here.  Tonight Josh and I took her out by herself, let her choose where we ate and then went and picked out all her school supplies together.  She loved it.  While we were driving home she even said, “I’m glad we dropped the boys off at the Kelley’s house…Big Daddy’s house.”  She really had a good time and we really let her have freedom to choose, despite what we…I mean, what I liked.  Two things she was tickled pink about, were her Hello Kitty backpack and a cat folder.  At one point she just could not decide between 2 different cat folders, a frog and a dog folder.  This was just not an easy choice, so she needed to spread them out in the aisle, take a seat and really deliberate.  Finally the choice was made and a pink cat won.  So after we get home, me being the teacher that I was, I knew everything and I mean everything needed to be labeled, so I got to work.  I really did not want to write her name on her backpack, but always hated when my student’s names were not clearly seen, so I decided to make Harper a name tag for her backpack.  I really like how it turned out and I know Harper is just going to love it.  She can already recognize her first name, so I think she will be pretty excited about it.  I will be selling these for $5, so let me know if you are interested.  So Thursday is Harper’s big day and I cannot wait to pick her up and hear all about how it went.  I am such a proud mom.
