First Day of School

Monday was Eliza's first day back at school. She was excited to go. We selected her pink dress with pockets, as pinkness and pocketry are two of her favorite qualities in things. I told her I wanted a picture of her in her backpack ready for school, and she pulled out her crazy model poses once more. Best for last:

As I was driving her to school, she suddenly said, "My teacher and my friends are going to be so IMPRESSED--that I know how to wink!" She has recently learned how to wink. Her winks are fairly difficult to perform and rather lengthy, lasting minutes at a time. So we arrived at the school, and Eliza walked up to the door on her own, knocked and waited. And I realized she was standing at the door with one eye closed! So she walked into her first day of school with her face twisted up in a twisted wink. I'm sure it was quite an entrance.
