She’s been talking about it since the beginning of summer. Bragging to her brothers and then questioning me, “Mom? When are we going on our date?” We started the tradition last year when Stella entered kindergarten–a special mommy/daughter date. Just her and me. Honestly I thought she forgot about it, but apparently not. She remembers everything we did and makes it known to her younger brothers that they can’t go on a date with me until they are going into kindergarten. So it’s a little bit of a treat.
What did we do? Her number one request was to go get her nails done. Finger and toes. She choose pink nail polish with purple glitter. Then lunch at our favorite deli/salad shop. She was so excited because we got to sit in the big comfy chairs, which we don’t get to do when it’s the whole clan because the chairs are only for two. Then back-to-school shopping. Big time. I had to put all the back-to-school shopping on hold while I focused on bathroom stuff. Next time I’ll know not to do that. I had to go to three different stores just to find a box of 24 crayons! Major pick over.
Her favorite part of clothes shopping was having a say in what she wanted to wear.
Then actually trying on the clothes…in the dressing room.
After clothes shopping, we made a quick stop to her favorite cupcake store before heading home.
Here’s the final results. I think she looks adorable. And what’s more important is that she had a good first day of school.

I love that tradition – and clearly it is important to Stella. She's precious – and I know she'll have a great year!
Ahhh… the joys of being a girl!! Love that tradition you started with her! It is something she will love doing with you forever. You are such a great mom… and you make such beautiful kiddos! 🙂 She's adorable!
So glad she had fun on her first day of first grade. She looks so adorable in her new clothes. She's a fashionista just like her mum. xx
Stella has to be the cutest and most stylin' girl in her first grade class! Even more important, I know she'll be a great student and learn a lot.
Funny that she remembered the date and insisted upon it.
Like mother, like daughter!
how cute! Where do you get her clothes?
Crewcuts. A little pricey but most of the items we got on sale.
