A Week of Firsts

The first week in September was a week of firsts for Hailey! She had her...

first dentist appointment.
Which she did awesome at! She sat so still in the chair and let them clean her teeth and the dentist examine them. I was impressed! Her favorite part was the "water gun" that they squirted in your mouth to rinse out the toothpaste with. ;)

That same week Hailey had "Meet the Teacher" day at her preschool. She got to go explore her classroom and meet her teachers for the year. She kept telling me she was "a teeny bit nervous" on the way there but she walked in like she owned the room and started chatting up her teachers about my little ponies and farm animals. She jumped right in and started playing pretend with the phone in the room calling "Lemon" from Strawberry Shortcake.

The next day (Thursday September 3) was her official first day of preschool! I'll do a whole post with tons more pics later but here is one...or two for you now.

And lastly in our week of firsts, Hailey's first time in "big church"! Earlier in the week Hailey asked if she could come with Ryan and I to the big service. We thought it would be a great way for her to see us worship and experience more of what corporate worship is about. Unfortunately Ryan was on a mission trip to Boston the weekend that she asked to go, but we still did it. Hailey did pretty well! She had a snack and colored for a while. She got antsy towards the end but did really well considering. As we were leaving to pick up Reece in the nursery she said, "Mommy, can I come to big church every week?"

My little girl is growing up too fast...
