Piper's first day at pre-school



It was a big day for Piper, she started pre school! Although she is still at the same center, she is now in a new class with a new teacher. This morning when we went into her bedroom to get her up, she stood up and said "Can I go to school NOW?", talk about excited! After breakfast we tried to take a few photos, but the scruffy monster had escped from Piper's pockets and done a fairly good job on our daughter...it seems that photographs must be taken milliseconds after the last hair is brushed or Piper ends up looking like she has spent three weeks hiking in Nepal.

The knee socks were my idea, I think there is supposed to be some leg between sock top and skirt hem, but despite that, the kid is cute. If only the hair fuzzies would do me a favor and disappear!

should the top of my knee socks touch the bottom of my skirt?
