chalk talk

Yesterday afternoon Emma Jane drew with her sidewalk chalk in the front driveway of our new house. This is something we couldn't easily do at the old house, so it was a fun new activity. Of course, she wanted to draw on the front door, porch steps, and anywhere else that seemed interesting. She also made a new friend...a teeny little bug! While sitting on the sidewalk, she suddenly put her face down close to the concrete and shouted, "Hi bug! Hi tiny bug! I drawing!" You can see her buggy conversation in the last photo.

school bells

Emma Jane had her first official day of preschool today. She was thrilled to hear the chiming of the church bells as we walked into the school at 9:00. She kept shouting, "ding dong!" as we walked down the sidewalk. According to one of her teachers, she had a great day! I am so proud of our big girl. As I was putting her in her carseat I told her how much I missed her and she said, "I missed you, too, Mom." I'm glad she is so independent, but I'm also happy to hear she missed her mama!
