Look what I got my little girl for her very first day of school..
 

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. :upsidedow

she sounds so cute....
What your doing with the "packpack" is so nice, she is going to be one excited little girl.

*she'll be 4

I hate making stupid typos like that. It makes me look like a moron. *sigh*

Thanks! She's a cutie, for sure, lol.

Love your sig, BTW, it gave me a giggle, lol.

..and I'm very proud of you man-being a good father to your kid. :)

that was a very cute bag.

it's a ma'am lol

let me correct it for you

LOL Thanks!

Common misconception, actually. I had alot of people say, "Chase? I thought you were a guy!" in Miami, lol.

It is fun shopping for first time going to school stuff
Went to a sidewalk sale yesterday and scored over $150 worth of little girl clothes, (for my 4 yr old) for $13. everything on the racks was $.94 each.
She is so excited to be going to school. She has been practising printing her letters and numbers for months now and she is trying to read, it is so cute.

:thumbsup Awesome! Sales are my weakness, lol, I don't think I would have had the self-control to stop at $13, lolol!

greaaaat now that song is going to be in my head all day and I dont
even have kids....back pack back back pack ....thanks chase :)

awwww that's so cute Chase....they grow up so fast...

She will be so cute, like a little princess :D

Ya, I thought you were a guy too. Looked at your profile pic, anyone can see you're a gal.

That's very cute :) I <3 pink! Good luck on her first day :thumbsup

Thanks everyone..I'll probably be whining about how I miss her when she's there for her first day, lol, so I'll let you know how it goes.

You mean you didn't get her her own private driver? :winkwink:

Awww That is very cute,

Sept 11, was she born on that fateful day? :Oh crap

I'll buy you one if I can have you. :winkwink: :winkwink:

Yup, we were on our way to the hospital when we heard. I sat in the lobby before they took me up, with about 15 other people, huddled around the tv, and I saw the second plane hit there. I had a C-section, and I remember it took sooooo long for them to get me ready, because everyone was in shock about what happened.
And for the three days in the hospital, (up all crazy hours nursing a newborn and getting checked on myself after surgery, and having nothing on tv but news coverage), I alternated between feeling guilty for being so happy when so many people had lost loved one, and feeling guilty that I had brought a child into this crazy world.
I found out later than my son's little sister from his Dad was born on Sept 11th, too, just a few years earlier. Weird.

oh that's adorable! i bet she'll love it.

I wouldn't have stopped, but they ran out of sale items at that time and they weren't scheduled to restock the racks for 2 hours, and I didn't feel like sticking around.
The sale is on until Saturday so I will be going back :winkwink:

Sweet, lol. :thumbsup
I am waiting for child support so my ex and I can take her shopping at Fashion Bug here in town..a girlfriend of mine got her daughter an outfit and herself an outfit for $15 total there, lol.

That is so cute!

supercute :)

What a sweet dad you are. :)

I'm sure your daughter will love that.
