Emily had her first day of preschool today and she was running out the door to get there!! She has been asking to go ever since the other kids started school, she just didn't understand why she couldn't go until after Labor day!
She woke up and had doughnuts for breakfast ( we just got in from out of town people). I told her to pick one and she picked FOUR! She dressed up in "pink" and put on her new shoes that make her run "really, really fast"!!
She was I think, the most excited when she saw her best friend from school Abby! They hugged for such a long time and told each other "I missed you soooooo much"!! They sat together for the blessing of the tote bags and played together on the play ground! Emily said Abby was very upset when her class had to go in and she had to leave Emily again! I am so happy that they will be able to play together on the playground everyday, they just love each other and get along so well.
Emily said that she was "so tired but, not sleepy tired, just sweaty tired" after school today but that sure didn't stop her from playing the rest of the afternoon!
I hope that everyone else sending little ones off to preschool finds it comforting to know that they are making friends and are in the care of people who love them! As tough as it may be to see them growing up, its part of life, our job from day one is to love them with all our hearts, keep them safe, guide them down the right path to making the best choices they can and teach them by example what they need to know to make it in this big, big world!
Watching Emily (from behind a wall) today while she played on the playground swinging, going over monkey bars, and chasing her friends at school, made me smile big, well up with tears and think to myself that I am doing my best to help this beautiful little girl of mine have the best life ever, and she is doing it...in that moment I could see it!
