First Day of PreSchool

So today was a huge day in my life as a Mother. Mikayla went to her first day of preschool. It is only 2 days a week for 3 hours a day. Of course I thought that was going to be the longest 3 hours of my life. Billy and I took her in, at first she was excited to see her friend Jaden and then she got a little shy because there were other kids and new teachers. Then it was time to say goodbye. She gave Daddy a hug and kiss goodbye and then when I gave her kisses she started to cry. I told the teacher that this is her first time away from us and she has only had family babysit her. The wonderful Miss Sally jumped into action and grabbed the class pet and showed it to her. Mikayla continued to cry but sat in her lap. Then I left. I was doing Ok until I got out of the classroom and then the tears just came rolling down my face. I felt so dumb, it was only for 3 hours.. I had to remember how much I could get done in 3 hours and how I could spend time with just Seth and it was going to be great for both of us. And then I thought but she is my little girl she can't be big enough to go to school.

Time went by so fast, we got home and Billy had to go to work and I had to get grocery shopping it still is a Tuesday!!! It was really weird to not have little Kayla asking every question known to man about every person we see in the store. It was fun just Seth and I, it reminded me of Mikayla and I when she was a baby and we would go to the store and then I though how cool is it that I get to spend one on one time with both of my kids!!!

We got home and it was time to go get Mikayla. We got to her school and she was sitting in circle time on her own and not crying!! I felt great, I knew she could do it!! She ran up to me and gave me a big hug. I asked her what she did in school and she said "I Whaaa Whaaa" and I said your cried and she said "yes but now Kayla no crying" I laughed and asked if she had fun she said Yes and said she wanted to come back. I talked to the teacher and she said that she only cried for the first hour and by the end of the day she was playing and even dancing!! I am so proud of her and I am glad that she is a Big Girl!!!!
