kindergarten gifts

since muffy is about to start kindergarten 

i wanted to get her a special little something 

to make her feel good about herself and not be so scared

and this is what i found

she loves to read, and anything about 

mama animals and baby animals she just adores

other great books for kindergarten i found are

i think i'm going to give them to her sooner than later 

so we can read them and get ready for the big step!

there's even a new exhibit opening up at the boston children's museum called "getting ready for kindergarten"
it's a room set up like a kindergarten classroom
where prespective students can roam freely checking out all the "stations" and participate in the activities.

today we did some back-to-school clothes shopping.
as we passed saks, she told me, hey mama, this looks like a good store!
and as luck would have it, all the little girls' lilly was an additional 50% off the markdown price.
oh, what am i in for?!?


oh, the fun we are going to have this next year!
