Here's our big girl on her first day of school! She was so excited leading up to this...a little nervous when the day actually arrived. She was a mixture of emotions about this new adventure, equal parts thrilled to be so big, and terrified to venture into this new big, unknown school. Our whole family walked down to school together, even Daddy made time to go! We walked her in to her teacher and said a goodbye and she became a little teary. I tried to make a swift exit, to not prolong her sad goodbye and as we were leaving her friend Ella said "hello" to her from across the hall. That brought a big smile to her face. They aren't in the same class, but they did get to play together on the playground later that day too. That was the highlight of her day she said. She said the talked on the swings, but it was really noisy so they had to shout :) She seemed confident, happy and said I didn't need to worry about her at school. She was going to be fine! Whew.

First Day of Kindergarten
Here's our big girl on her first day of school! She was so excited leading up to this...a little nervous when the day actually arrived.

Sadie's BIG girl room
On vacation Sadie slept in a big girl bed at the cottage, the same way her big sister made the leap 3 years ago. She did very well, sleeping through the night, and when we returned home she said, "no cribby, big girl bed." So, there was no turning back. We had 2 good nights under our belt at home and made the leap to rearrange her room and disassemble the beloved cribby. I am going to miss having a little one in a crib. It marks an end of an era at the Cotts house. Kind of sad. But, what fun our little people are today!
Here are a before and 2 after shots of her room!
