First day of school!

Today was Ava’s first day of school! She’s in the 2 year old class and definitely knows the routine! (She’s got a 2 year molar coming in and chewing on the finger must feel good because she’s doing it a lot!)

How sassy does this kid look?

Ok, so let me tell you about the shoes. Ava needed a new pair of shoes for school this year and we found a pair over the weekend. Oh. my. word. She is obsessed with them. She was so excited about them. She kept talking about them. When we got to school, she looked at her teacher and said “my shoes!”. I firmly believe she probably talked about them ALL day and probably drove her teacher crazy! :) Gotta love the mind of a 2 year old. More on the shoes in a bit.

{i seriously love this picture}

{not sure why she looked so mad here!}

So we got to school and Ava was excited to see a mom of one of her friends! She was happy and smiling, and then she tripped over her brand new shoes! She scraped up both of her knees. Nothing like starting the first day of school falling down and bleeding!

But she had a great day and played hard and came home with her daddy talking about the shoes! (Girl has a one track mind people! She loves shoes!) She had them on when I got home and seriously about fell apart when I took them off. I showed her pictures of this morning, and of course, the only thing she cared about was… you guessed it… her shoes! :) Love that goofy kid! I’m glad she had a good day and I know she’s happy to be back in school! I’m thankful we have a place that she loves so much!

{edited to add: when I dropped her off this morning, I asked if she drove them crazy talking about her shoes. Of course they were sweet and said no, but her teacher did say Ava showed them to everyone who came in their room yesterday. Oh, that girl!}
