"Mom is school going to be after this sleep"
"Mom how many more sleeps til school starts"
"Mom you don't have to stay with me"
and the very best one...
"Mom you are going to be bored" I then asked "why" and she says...
"cuz I'm not going to be home".
Does she look ready or what???
"BYE MOM"!!!
This little preschool is just up the street.
Mrs Sherrie is AMAZING!
So sweet and loves what she does. I have waited for this day for most of the summer and then it gets here and what did I do? Got in the car and cried. Came home and finished morning dishes and cried. Hopped on my bed and cried. Then read a good book and some scriptures and cried. Said a little prayer and cried. I really wasn't prepared for these emotions. As I blew a kiss to Sofie she blew one back and it triggered emotions that I didn't know were there. My heart felt heavy knowing that she is my last. Only a few more years of blowing and catching kisses. That is sad to me. I realize how important it is to slow down and enjoy these moments. This is a new chapter for me. My first time in 12 years to have no kids under foot. I know that it is just 2 and a half hours and I know that this is a time that is well deserved but truthfully... I am lost. I don't know anything but what I have been doing? I am thankful that I know I am not alone. I know that I have a loving Father in Heaven that will help me and He knows how I am feeling. I know that this is just a new chapter and I will have a new STT.
"Story To Tell".

Wonderful "story to tell" Look how good she is sitting and listening to her teacher, look how Sweet little Sofie is and how Sweet her Momma is, you probably went through those 2 and half hours looking over your shoulder, catching yourself calling her name to know where she's at. I love your story ")A Sweet reminder of growth when we send our children out into the world, you trust in what you've taught her and you have that trust in our Father. I so remember those days. I wished I could have been there to see you drop her off, It's tough Huh...But, we get through it! I sure love you ")
This will be your new favorite time of the week...but give yourself time to adjust...it IS sad to realize they are growing up!! =( When you need a pick me up call me and I'll tell you how Easton isn't napping or throwing a tantrum or pooped through his clothes =)
