First Day of School.....

So today was Olivia's first day of school and she was so very excited about going. I have been talking it up for several weeks now in hopes that today would go smoothly, and it did. Today was "White Day" at school, so everyone was supposed to wear white. (Learning their colors). I dropped her off and the first thing she said to her teachers was "I'm hungry!". Nice huh??? I had told Olivia that her school would be making her breakfast and lunch, so she felt like they needed to know she was ready to eat I guess. I gave her a kiss and left. I called back at 9:30 to check on her for the first time. They said she was doing great but that they thought she might should be moved up to the 3 and 4 year old class because she was so mature. (And that she ate very well this morning by the way). Well, I am not a crier, I just do not tear up that easily. But, I started crying. I couldn't believe it. I am not sure why that upset me so much (I guess somehow that means she's growing up). I went and picked her up at 2:30 and the teachers said "Oh, she'll be so glad your here. Every time that door opens, she hollers "Mommy!" Now how sad is that. She was so happy to see me, but she had a fantastic day. She was in such a good mood all afternoon and I asked her if she wanted to go back tomorrow, and she said "Yes!" I probably should have done this a long time ago. She has been lonely at home I think. She was used to having kids all around her the first 10 months of her life at the orphanage, so this is right up her alley! I am so glad it went as well as it did. Here are a couple more pictures from this morning before her first school day.

After we got home, she decided she needed to read to "Bunny". This is where we sit and cuddle and read to her. Look at those little toes! I love her toes!!




Then, to top off the night, I was in the kitchen cooking dinner and Jason was running on the treadmill, and "I thought" Olivia was just playing in her room. I did call for her a couple of times and she would say, "I'm in my room", so I ASSUMED she was fine. Well, her dad came and got me and took me to her room and I saw beautiful black locks of hair lying in the floor!!!!!! She had cut her hair!!!!!! I was mortified! I knew she was in her room at her vanity playing when I checked on her last and she had her doll head in the chair doing its hair, but how, when and where she got the scissors, I do not know. Sneaky!! I told her that only her aunt Jen could cut her hair. NOT HER!! She didn't do too much damage. Just looks layered (in some places!!) Teehee. Oh well. By the way, her doll got a haircut too!! Poor girl!

And finally, a picture of Livie having fun in the tub tonight!!
