Nurswey Skool Heah I Chome!

The day dawns bright and cold.

The pretty little dress she was going to wear

was discarded for something

warm and toasty.

She was so excited she ran out

to the car to meet me...

Hwurry up, Nana...

I gotta get my hairh rweady yet.

An' I doan wanna be late.

She cut her bangs herself for the occasion.

Cute huh?

When I told Mama the other day that

SweetCheeks cut her own bangs..

she blanched a bit..

and said...OH NO
She didn't?

SweetCheeks proudly confirmed..

Yeash I did- wiff my very own

little kid's shcissors.

I lwooks good, huh?

Yeah..realllly good!

Mama suggested a nice bow for her hair.

SweetCheeks favors a big flower that

will cover half her head because

It mhatches my own bhackphack.

Well....yes. it. does!All the kids get their pictures

taken on the front stoop of their house

on their first day of school every year.

Here she is-spit shined and ready to go.Lulu & Ria get together for a

group hug.

They both love school and are glad

that SweetCheeks is joining them.As soon as the car stops

Ria jumps out and runs to join her friends.

Lulu, a bit more sedate, walks
with Mama & SweetCheeks to her line.

The school bell rings and the older kids

file in.SweetCheeks nursery school starts 15 minutes later.

She tugs on me and says,

Nana, I dhin't know I wuz so tall.

Huh?

Lookit...see dere's my shadow..

See how thall I am..

Yeah..and you got a pinhead, too.

But we won't talk about that

because SOMEONE won't think THAT

is funny.C'mon SweetCheeks~

Time to go in now.

I jus' gonna whear my bhackphack

bhackwads cuz I lwike it dis way.

Okay, Nana?

Okay-SweetCheeks...

Move your butt!Here is her nursery school teacher.

She is totally awesome!

The other girls had her when she

taught kindergarten.

Now she "teaches" nursery school..

She is one of our very favorites.

SweetCheeks already adores her.Can you find your piece of carpet

with your name on it?

Of corwrse I can..I know myah name!

Quick sit down..so nobody

sees your real name..

cuz you will always be

SweetCheeks to me

(and to BlogLand!)

Notice Mr.Hyper behind her..

Yeah...kid never quit moving.

God bless the teacher...

God bless his Mom..

God bless him!A hug good-bye before we go..

Shhh...to Starbucks, of course!The three hours fly by..

We have enough time to do a quick

little shopping and it is time

to pick her up.

Can you tell she came flying out?

This is the best picture I could get..

Uh...huh...she was happy to see

her Mama & her Nana!After she got buckled into the car seat

she thought we ought to have some lunch.

Where to, SweetCheeks?

Can you guess her favorite place?

Nope! Not McDonalds..

Nope! Not Burger King..

Nope! Not Pizza Hut...

Her favorite place

isDuring lunch we were

highly entertained by her version

of

Two Little Birdies..

that never seem to

fly away when they are supposed to..

All too soon the day is over..

and our little SweetCheeks

is home again.

She hugs and kisses me good-bye..

and, tired to the bone,

is off to watch Nemo.

Happy first day of school, baby..

You did good...Very Very Good!
