Time for a Kindergarten backpack...

Katie is still pretty small for her age and only weighs about 31 pounds. When it was time to look for a backpack for school we headed straight out for the traditional Barbie or Dora bag. Katie was so excited to try hers on, she choose the Barbie one with the pink straps. We left Kmart and as soon as we got home she had to try it on. I got the camera ready and waited to see her excited expression. It was then I realized that my little peanut was too small for the traditional backpack, it hung below her knees and was much wider than her little body!

Thank Goodness for L.L. Bean!

Original Junior Backpack 

The book pack that started it all. Our Original pack's extra-rugged nylon packcloth construction won't give out – no matter how many times you strain the seams or throw it down fully loaded. You'll pass it down before it ever wears out. Our smallest pack is great for younger kids – holds toys and clothes for preschool or daycare and is sized for small shoulders. Imported. Built for ages 4 and up.

Katie picked the pink and grey "fishy" one with her name on it. It was on sale for 9.99...Great DEAL!
