Back to School!
Wednesday the 18th of August was the first day of nursery (aka preschool) for Rebekah. They pretty much have year-round school here, with longer breaks throughout the year, culminating in a 6-week summer holiday. I actually enjoyed the break in routine and having my little honey home with me for a while. In all honesty, she mostly entertained herself and then snuggled next to me to watch a movie every afternoon as I worked. It was sweet. Lest you think we worked too much, we worked in a few games of princess memory, too.
First Day of School Gift
Anyway, I decided to start a Malone family tradition and get Rebekah a little back to school gift. As she is in the Owl Class, I found these beauties in London and was excited to give them to her the first morning. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of telling her she had a surprise the next morning, so she was up and at ‘em a wee bit earlier than anticipated. Learning as I go.

Mom, can we just go?!
Rebekah had a great first day back! The classroom was very pretty and clean and welcoming to the kids. They even installed a fabulous play kitchen in one corner that Rebekah was pretty excited about.
Love the OWL hair clips. They look so cute in her hair. So glad she has the opportunity to return to the same class with friends.
I LOVE your tradition Emily! My mom always had fun little traditions like that, and it was so special! I definitely plan to try to make bigg-ish deals out of stuff like that
The hair clips are super cute, too!
What cute barrettes! Rebekah looks so adorable in her pictures (as does Luke!).
Precious photos Miss Em, and I too love your tradition – what fun to have owl hair clips?!
She is so sweet and cute in her new barrettes! Love the gift idea!
