Wow, has it really been since mid-June since I have posted? I guess I have a lot to catch up on! Hopefully I will have time to do that now that my precious little girl is in SCHOOL! Yes, I have a kindergartener.
The night before school started she had a mini-breakdown and I had a mega-breakdown. She was scared that she would miss me too much (among other things), and I was scared of the same exact thing. She cried for 30 minutes before falling asleep, and then I went to my room and cried for twice that long.
But the next morning she woke up with a renewed sense of readiness for school. Getting her up at 6 am when she is used to sleeping in until 8 proved to be a lot easier than I expected. And she excitedly woke up her brother, “Ben, it’s time to take sister to school!”
Breakfast Time
followed by driving to school and finishing breakfast in the car because my kids are slooowww eaters
and then into the classroom we go!
Only a few tears were shed at drop-off, but pick-up was another story. When I saw my not-so-little-anymore school girl, saw her face light up when she saw me, and she came running into my arms, I lost it.
Day 2 was a little easier. Nerves were pretty calm, in fact I decided to take another picture since we were both feeling better (and the fact that I forgot to have her hold a kindergarten sign the first day).
She enjoyed her 2nd day as much as her first.
And I still lost it at pick-up time.
