Well, Jules officially had her first day of school and it was a success. I had been stressing, like all us first time preschool/kindergarten mommies do. I had been making a conscious effort to make things run as smoothly as possible during this very big transition for the both of us. I made sure to include her in everything from shopping to getting to pick out her very own first day of school outfit. She made sure, about 100 times, that she would not be staying at school for lunch and requested over and over that I plan a surprise for her when she woke up for her first day of TK. Done, anything to make her first day extra special. She is in the half day program so the no lunch thing was easy. As for the surprise request, that made my day. I love that she is my mini me and enjoys celebrating anything and everything. I knew I had to do a fun breakfast, it's kinda tradition to have a themed breakfast for any and all special days around here. See some of our fun breakfast's here, here & here.
My husbands favorite book to read to her since she was a baby is, Oh, the Places You'll Go! I knew I had to include a quote on our letter board. As for the decor, I saw a pencil banner on Pinterest and pulled the color scheme from there. I asked one of my favorite handmade banner shops, Jules and Kenna, to help out. She made the banner, the bag decor and the pancake toppers. It all came out better than I expected. Our sweet friend from, Little Paper Farm, surprised us the day before school with the alphabet banner. I fell in love and had to incorporate it! The woolie ball garland is from our favorite, Hooray Everyday. As far as the rest of the decor, it's all from Target including the table and chairs.
