A New Beginning: Starting School {A Letter to My Children}

I'm not sure how this happened so fast but my babies are going to pre-K this year.  I'm excited for them and sad all at the same time.  Here is my letter to them this month as we start on our next adventure.

To my pre-K big kids:

Being your Mommy is one of my favorite things in life.  Up until now our lives have been filled with play dates, a really flexible schedule, and lots of fun.  I have loved having you guys with me all the time.

Pre-school is going to bring us exciting changes though.  You guys will be in school 3 hours a day every day.  We will definitely have to adjust to our new schedule.  I think it will be a great transition for all of us as you move on to kindergarten though.

We met your new teacher (Mrs. Price) and she is so sweet!  I loved how she took both of your hands in hers as she introduced herself to you.  You guys are both so excited about her and your first day.  I can't wait to hear all the wonderful tales you will have to tell me as you come home each day.

I know I will shed a few tears that first day (or so) but I love you guys so much and can't wait to see the new things you will learn and the new friendships you will build!

Love you forever and always!
Mommy

I am participating in a blog circle with a great group of moms who are writing letters to their children as well.  We're doing it together as a way of supporting each other and as a reminder to keep writing when life gets so busy.  I'm so glad to be a part of such a great group of ladies.  You can follow our circle with my friend's letter to her children next. 

Smash Cake and One Year Milestone | Miss M {Frisco TX Toddler Photographer}

Look who turned one!  I met this little girl a year ago for newborn pictures and can't believe how much she has grown!

I was so excited when her mom emailed me to do her one year shoot.  I loved that this little girl who was so little when I met her was able to show me so many of her new skills she had learned this year - sitting up, crawling, pulling up to walk.  Way too cute!!  ♥

We had her in this same bucket as a newborn and she definitely fits a lot differently now...but still just as cute as ever.

We also did a first birthday smash cake with her.  And oh my goodness she loved the cake!  Some of the little ones I meet are a little hesitant when they first see the cake, but she had no problem diving right into it (with a little help from Daddy).  I had such a great time watching her.  :-)

Thank you guys for letting me be a part of Miss M's one year session and smash cake!  I love watching my littlest clients as they grow.  I can't wait to see her again soon!

 For anyone else who would like to go ahead and book their one year milestone or smash cake session, please send me an email so that we can go ahead and get your session on the books.  I can't wait to take pictures for you!
