Ashton started First grade today! Doesn't she look so cute!? I am her mom so of course I think so.
I love her boots, they are my favorite impulse buy ever.
I've been trying to get Ashton to be excited for school. When she has been asked if she is excited she says, "no, I don't like school, it is boring, you just have to sit there and learn." I can't help but laugh because that is so straight to the point and the basics of school, you sit, the teacher talks, you are supposed to learn. Ash is such a mover, shaker, runner, she loves moving and she's always been that way since the first time she rolled over at 3 months (no joke), crawled at 6 months, and started climbing on everything! So school last year was torture for her: 30 minutes on the bus each way, 6 hours of school, 1 hour of homework, neither Ash nor I were ready for summer to be over and the above schedule to commence again. I'm sure she'd rather be doing this:
Despite the fact that Kindergarten was rough for me too (I'm sure everyone has heard me complain about this more than once!) I am starting this year with a positive attitude. Good thoughts about the school, the staff, and the schedule so I hope it will rub off on Ashton too.
So if you talk to Ashton, tell her how fun school is and how awesome it is to learn and maybe she'll start to believe it! *wink wink*

Yay for first grade!!
Ashton looks so cute! Love the boots, umbrella, everything. I know Lucy was a little nervous/stressed this morning because she forgot to take her Hello Kitty umbrella to the bus stop!
So we were looking at old family photos and Jules said oh I want to see Ashton and Adrienne again. We can go to their blog. Jules can't get over how cute Adrienne is and how grown up Ashton is. Beauties.
