First day!

Today our little Sophie started her first day of Preschool!  Its so exciting to see her experiencing a new chapter in her life but its also bittersweet because now begins the end of her being home all day with me.  Sophie was thrilled to be at school and barely let me shoot a picture of her before she headed to class, Jens on the other hand was upset that he didn't get to stay- mainly he wanted to play on the playground- we fixed that with a visit to the park. 
Our first "first day" picture on our front porch:








After dinner Sophie and I headed to ballet, her first class for the new season.  She was so excited when she learned that she was going to be in Miss Natalie's class again!  I was impressed by everything Sophie had remembered after having a 4 month hiatus and had fun watching our little girl doing what she loves.  I was able to get a couple of pictures of Sophie before class started, the rest were taken from outside the room. FYI- lighting wasn't the greatest but i think i still got some good shots. :)

 This is what i caught Sophie doing A LOT of while she was waiting for instructions or for her turn to practice: diva poses in the mirror!
