Mother's Day Out

Ashley's first day of school was today. She does NOT like getting her picture taken. The look you see here is a genuine smile, (smirk, rather) because she is unwilling to produce a smile for the camera. With Ashley, what you see is how she truly is feeling! The other four pics. I attempted to take at the house were of her scowling at me. The book entitled, "Strong-Willed Child" was written with her in mind, in fact.






Ashley wants to help comfort a new friend.

Today was Ashley's first day of Mother's Day Out at the First Baptist Church in Collinsville. It was a completely different experience than last year, when I had to peel her off of me. She actually started cheering from the moment I pulled the car in at the church, and then proceeded to RUN to the front door, and then RUN into her classroom to greet familiar friends and hug her new teacher, Miss Vickie. What a difference a year makes!
