Chrissy Teigen is one proud mom!

On Tuesday, May 14, the cookbook author and model, 38, shared a cute snap of daughter Esti Maxine, 16 months, holding a movie-style clapboard ahead of her first day at preschool.

“Esti’s FIRST DAY OF Pre-School,” the clapboard read. “I AM 1 YEARS OLD.”

The date on the board was also shown as “May 14th 2024.”

“I CANTTAKE ITTT,” Teigen wrote across the snap as Esti wore a striped dress under a pink cardigan. Looking straight into the camera she also looked prepared as she sported a white bow in her hair.
