Kindergarten...

September 3, 2013

Maya started Kindergarten this fall.  Hard to believe she's 5 already!  We took her shopping the week before school and let her pick out her special 'First Day of School' outfit.  I've never taken her shopping for her own clothes before as we've always had so many outfits passed on to us.  She was really good about it and chose a nice purple top, some Jeggings & some white/silver/purple runners.  In fact, she was so good about shopping, that she ended up with 2 more tops, a pair of corduroy/leggings, some rain boots and a 2nd pair of runners.  I'm weak...
