Pre-School

I knew this day would come. This is the day that marks the beginning of sending your child off to school. Soon enough it will be Kindergarten and then parent teacher conferences, PTA meetings, school dances, I could go on but I can't because the thought of how fast all these years will pass me, is bitter but sweet. I know it's just pre-school, but for the last three years of her life I've been the only one to be with her day in and day out. To feel her being away from me just for three hours, three days a week has been hard. It feels weird to just drop her off at school with people I don't know. On her first day I paced by the front gate because I just felt naked without her. She has been my little buddy by my side for three wonderful years, and here I was dropping off not a baby anymore, but a kid. My kid. I watched her play for a little while and she was just so so so happy. She jumped from activity to activity in a matter of minutes because she was so excited. She couldn't make up her mind what she wanted to do because everything around her was so wonderful. I knew she was happy and needed to be there. I finally on this day understood (mild version, of course) how it felt like to let them go, and hope you have taught her well so far in being a kind, and respectful person. I’m looking forward to the art work she brings home, hearing about what she did at school that day, listening to what she’s learned and watching her make new friends. The days are long but the years are fast. I’m so grateful for her. I’m so blessed.



Waiting for the teacher to open the gate...

She was so excited she ran the moment she got out of the car.

This is her "Mom what are you still doing here?!" look...

Her first day of Pre-School

Every year, as a new school year approaches I will ask her questions to see how they change as she grows....
