Today was Poppy's last day as a 1 year old. Her teachers at Summer Adventure knew that and there were some other kids having birthdays, too, so they celebrated today! Since it was almost her birthday, Poppy got to bring home TWO balloons instead of just 1. She was so excited, but she made Lauren carry them to the car because of course Poppy just HAD to carry her own lunch bag. She loves that thing!
Anyway, when Lauren walked into the classroom, Poppy's teacher was in awe because Poppy had seen Lauren's car pull up and park outside the window and started telling her teacher that her mommy was here. And sure enough, Lauren stepped out of the car. Apparently most 2 year olds aren't quite that observant :)

Summer Adventure
Poppy was pretty bummed about Lolli getting to do 2 vacation bible schools this year. But her luck changed when Summer Adventure camp rolled around! It was for ages 2 and up, and since Poppy's turning 2 before the last day, they let her sign up!
Lolli was in the Panda room with Meredith and Poppy was in the Teddy Bear room. Those will be their classrooms in the fall, too. Poppy was verrrry excited about going and talked about it with excitement in the days before it started. The first morning of camp, the girls were thrilled to see the new lunch bags Lauren had gone out to buy them at 9pm the night before. Lolli's is pink with flowers and Poppy's is purple with stripes.
On the first day of camp, Poppy insisted on walking herself into the building, carrying her own lunch bag. Lauren, Zach and Lolli walked Poppy to her classroom - and there she started to tense up. She asked to be picked up and her bottom lip started quivering. Finally she asked her teacher to pick her up and was doing okay, so Zach and Lauren took Lolli up to her class. Of course she's a pro at this, so there were no tears from her!
Poppy ended up having a great time that first day and drop-off has gotten easier each day. Today she walked right into her classroom, went over and hung up her lunch bag in her cubby, and started playing right away! So big :) She and Lolli sometimes see each other in the basement or out on the playground, which they get a kick out of. So fun for them to be at the same school!
