Oh, my little darlings on their first day of school!! Tears were flowing this morning when I dropped these babies off. And not even tears from them. They were so brave, and so excited! I worried so much about Eloise, but at the end of the day, she just looks up to her big sister so much that she wanted to do exactly what Harper was going to do. The girls held hands as they climbed out of the car and walked into school with their teachers, and I sobbed into my coffee as I drove away.
I overheard Harper giving Eloise a pep talk about school yesterday, and it was one of the funniest conversations I have ever heard. It went something like this "...and if someone says you look pretty, you should say thank you! Ok Ells? And be very very nice, don't be bad. And always say please and share your toys. And if you don't like somebody's shirt you just don't even tell them. But you can tell them you like their hair!" Oh, the wise words of Harper!! ;) Ha!
We filled out the following questions for them to take to school to share with their class, I loved their answers so much, I totally have to keep track of these every year or do them again on their birthdays!
