:: First Day ::

Last Monday night, I crawled into Denay's little bed, lay down beside her and started to cry. "What's wrong mummy?", Denay asked in her sweet little voice. "Mommy's just really going to miss you when you go to school", I responded. She propped herself up on one elbow, started stroking my cheek and saying, "It's okay mummy, it's okay".She's just three, but it felt so right for her. She's so social and detailed and smart, we thought it would be good for her to get some early teaching above what she gets at home.So on September 6th, I rolled over and panicked. Of course I would sleep in on her first day. But I managed to get both kids up and fed and changed and out the door in 15 minutes!{First Day Of Preschool}

{of course, Daddy wanted to be there too, so his boss gave him some time off to come to school and hold his little girls hand}

I'll admit it, I was one of "those" mom's, standing at the door saying "bye" and "mommy loves you" a dozen times without any response from my completely distracted and excited daughter. Three hours later we were back to pick up a little girl who was full of stories and songs. She went back again on Thursday, again without a hitch. And while I'm missing my time along with her on those morning, it gives me some baby free time (while #2 naps) to get dinner prepped and the cleaning done, so that when she comes home, we have lunch and then a whole hour of straight playtime until afternoon naps!
