hazel's first day of preschool (and ballet)

hazel started preschool this week

she was beyond excited to go

 here's her preschool backpack that they gave her

 olive put on her backpack, too

she thought she was part of it

 here's hazel in front of her preschool

and hazel at preschool

hazel is very social

she loves friends and doing things with other kids

this is her first time being away from me

she is fine with it but she did hug me very tight

and listen very intently to me as i told her i'd be back in a couple of hours

olive kicked and screamed the whole way home

because she wanted to go to preschool, too

ps. when michael realized a few days ago 

that hazel will be in kindergarten next year

his mind was blown and he may or may not have said

he was going to shoot someone :)

hazel also had her first day of ballet with the academy of ballet in utah
we were considering doing ballet at her preschool
but it felt like it would have been a step backward since she has a year of experience
the academy of ballet feels like a step up

she really likes it

and i think it is a good fit

sheesh we have had a lot of milestones this last week!
