Preschool!

Well I did it, I actually survived Sydney's first day of preschool and I am lonely! My house is so quiet right now. I know I will learn to appreciate having time to myself but right now I really miss her! We got up at 6:00, ate breakfast, got all dolled up and off we went. Sydney was soooooo excited to go to real preschool. It was so surreal going to a school and dropping off my kid. Weird! She asked my as we were walking through the parking lot if I was going to cry. She told me that she didn't want me to cry. I said I would try really hard not to but if I did they were going to be happy tears for her. She was ok after that. We found her classroom and she ditched me immediately to play with the kids. I stayed for about 30 minutes (obviously for my sake not hers). My little social butterfly was sitting in circle time when I blew her a kiss and left. I got a little misty as I was walking away from her but I think I did pretty good. I really am excited for her, she is going to learn so much and have so much fun. But I feel like this is the beginning of me not being the center of her universe and I know I am not ready for that! Great, now I really am crying. Oh well I almost made it.

So exciting! She looked very pretty for her first day of school! I get all teary just think about it! My day will come!
Pretty soon you will be loving your time to yourself! Especially before the new little one arrives! Then you will enjoy your special time with her!

Looks like she had a good time. I think it is always harder for the moms than the kids!

She looks SO big! And so darn cute!! She really does get prettier with each picture!

It is hard when they start school. You know they are growing up, but starting school kinda grinds it in. And the things she will learn, the stories she will have - they will be priceless!

Think of it this way - when the new little miss arrives, you will get special time to bond with her while Sydney is in school.

(((HUGS))) to that big preschooler of yours! Belly pats to you! :-)
