Un lapin pour l'école

Today was Abner's first day of French immersion preschool (hence the French title of this post). I thought it would be nice to surprise her with a little gift this morning, so last night I whipped up this bunny from 1-2-3 Sew. The fabric is Wee Play by American Jane Patterns and the face was hand stitched on cream flannel.

It was so sweet to see Abner tucked into the bike trailer this morning on our way to school clutching her new bunny. She was adamant that her new friend be strapped in just like she was...next she'll want me to make her a bunny bike helmet!

For those who are curious, the first school drop off went well...no tears for either of us. When I left, she was sitting at a table reading some books by herself. I can't wait to pick her up and hear about her first day of school!
