Ready or not...

Ready or not, school has started. I dreaded this year when both of my big girls would be gone from me all day. I feel like it's the beginning of end of our peaceful bubble of goodness that we have created for them over the past several years. I hate the thought of not having long, unscheduled hours with them, when we are still the primary influence in their little psyches. Alas, it was time to send them off into the world...
The night before I told Lacy I would walk her to the playground in the morning to make sure she found her teacher. She said, "Can we do car line?"
Me, "Well, if we do car line, Mommy just drops you off and I won't be there to help you"
Lacy, "I want to do car line"
Me, "Ummm...how about we decide in the morning? You might change your mind."
On the way to school in the morning...
Me, "Lacy, do you want Mommy to walk you to the playground to wait for Ms. Foster?"
Lacy, "Car line"
What happened to my little toddler that didn't want to be left in childcare when I went to a Moms group?????
Dropped the girls off in CAR LINE & off the went. At least Lily waved goodbye.
The night before school, Lacy's prayer was, "I pray that Ms. Foster takes good care of me and that I learn amazing things"
So, ready or not...a whole new season for our family has begun.
