A couple of weeks ago, she went to Mimi's for the week for Bible School. That Saturday, I met them in Commerce so that I could bring her home. We spent that afternoon at the outlet malls for our first "school clothes" shopping event. We made it into OshKosh B'gosh and picked out lots of cute stuff. We then went into the dressing room. I started out saying, "Now, we aren't going to try on everything, just a few things." Thirty minutes later, we had tried on everything that we brought into the dressing room and were heading out to find more to try on. It was so much fun trying on the clothes and watching her reactions. "This is sooo cute, Mom" or "I don't like this too well" or "This just doesn't fit quiet right" or "I think I need a little bigger size" or "I totally love this!!"
Then, last weekend, during the tax-free weekend, we went school supply shopping. (small note: tax free weekend is totally over-rated. Don't think it was worth saving a couple of dollars and dealing with all of those people and chaos on the roads and in the store!!). At any rate, we had a great time. We had our list printed out and went to Target. She had a lot of fun picking everything out and checking it off of the list. She especially had fun picking out her new lunch box, water bottle and sandwich holder. 
Tonight, we made a Kindergarten countdown poster. We drew the month of August and Ella put stickers all around it. She is using colored crayon stickers to mark the days as we get closer to August 22nd, the first day of Kindergarten. The sheer excitement in her eyes as she counted the remaining days left before the first day made it all worth it. My little girl is growing!!
