She's starting Head Start next week! She's be 4 on Sept 11th, but the cut off for Pre-K is Sept 1st...and this child is beyond ready for school, lol, so she's going to Head Start! She's thrilled-I bet I'm the only one with tears when she goes, lol.
She's been asking for a backpack, but I know she doesn't really need one for Head Start. Still, I didn't want to rob her of the whole school experience being how she imagines it, at least on the things I *can* control. So I found her a cute little cinch backpack that is small and flat enough to be comfortable even when she is sitting with her back against a chair/seat.
When I showed her the pic (I bought it online for $7 and change!) she said "Oh, Mommy, I like to have that beautiful princess backpack!" but when she says backpack it sounds like packpack, lol.
Every day she asks if it will come in the mail today, lol. I'm so proud of her.
