Eliza's Firsts

September was full of first for Eliza!

First day of gymnastics! This was her first "non-Mommy and Me" class.  She took gymnastics in Houston, but I was always with her.  She ran right in without a bit of hesitation.  She was so excited to go!






First day of 3 Year Old preschool September 2, 2014.  Sadly, Daddy was out of town and couldn't go with us on her first day.


So excited!!

This is from last year,  funny how similar these two pictures are!



Olivia really wanted to get into one of the photos :)

Walking into school

This one was HUGE for Eliza.  She had been just dying to go to ballet, just like big sister.  She was super excited the day had finally come!






She had a ball!  She came out with an enormous smile afterwards

And finally, Eliza is out of her crib and into a BIG GIRL BED!!!!!  


I, unexpectedly, had a really hard time with this.  It was so sad for me to say goodbye to such a big part of being a baby, sleeping in a crib.  I was so sad rocking her in the glider the night before her big girl bed arrived.  I knew it would be one of the last times I got to rock her before bed.  Like her sister, she wants to read and snuggle in her bed and not in the rocking chair anymore.

This was one of the last pieces of "babyhood" that we were still hanging onto.  She was ready, Mama was not!  Not only was I sad to say goodbye to the crib, but I was also worried that Eliza wouldn't be like big sister and stay in her bed.  Turns out, I was wrong!  She has done really well and has not gotten out once (well, one time she told me that she got up and opened the door and then got back in bed). My sweet baby is no longer a baby, sniff sniff.
