Mila Goes To Kindergarten

Man, the emotions were going 

wild over here 

in the beginning of September!

Our little baby was headed to 

KINDERGARTEN.

All day, 9 to 4, five days a week.

Like every other parent we

 wondered where the time had gone.

Lolo will have to get used 

to life without her constant playmate.

Okay, Mila got over the sappy stuff 

pretty quickly

(Mom did not...).

She was very ready.

Navigating the Chicago Public School system

in order to get Mila at a top school 

proved to be a true test
of patience and endurance.

But after months of freaking out uncertainty,

she was offered a competitive spot 

at Pritzker Elementary in Wicker Park.

We were proud of her and SO happy,

and not just because it's across the

street from Big Star ;) 

This little girl. 

This one is everything 

we hoped for

 and so, so much more.
