The first day of the rest of her life

Today was Shelby's first day of Pre-School. I just realized that this is the first day of the rest of her life! She will be in school for a minimum of 14 years and I can't believe it. She is the most wonderful Shelby in the world.  

Shelby went to summer camp and loved every minute. She was SO happy to be back to school today. She jumped right back in to the swing of things. She did really well and didn't have any accidents. That made me super happy. She only had a handful of accidents at camp but she didn't have a single accident today! yay! 

We recently started showing Shelby signing DVD's called "Signing Time" and she has picked it up SO quick.  I have been absolutely amazed by how much she knows now.  She can sign all the colors of the rainbow, a ton of different animals, different types of food and desserts, manners, school words, etc. She always signs please and thank you, she signs her colors when she is referring to something, if she is hungry she will say and sign hungry, etc. She is signing all the time and will randomly show me a sign i don't even know and sure enough, she is signing it accurately. We were in the backyard just playing and she signing "playing" and "backyard." It was so cute and definitely impressive.  When I want to know a sign and either don't know it or can't remember it, I will ask Shelby and she will show me. :-D Honestly, I couldn't be more proud. :-)
