I will miss my girls for sure. And kindergarten feels like the big leagues - I feel like a small fish in a big pond. BUT I am so looking forward to spending some one on one time with my sweet, squishy baby. And the girls could use some time apart from one another, fo sho!
This morning when I walked in to wake them up at 6:45, they were both sitting at the edge of their beds. Nervous, no doubt. Hattie couldn't eat much breakfast. Her tummy hurt. Mary Ellen ate all of hers. I don't think she fully understood what was coming.
By the time I got Hattie to school, she had lightened up, and her nervousness turned to excitement. The halls of the school were packed and overwhelming, even for me. However, as soon as she walked in her classroom and spotted a friend who she had met at a kindergarten social recently, she left my side, and never looked back. Her teacher had them sit in a circle and asked them how they were feeling. My Hattie, almost the smallest kid in the class, was the first to shoot her hand in the air. She answered, "I was nervous this morning but not anymore." She's going to do GREAT!
My bear, my sissy, my sweet Mary Ellen had a harder time. She always does with leaving my side. She's only 3! But I know she will soon be asking me every day if she gets to go to school today. She's only going 3 mornings a week this year. And that's plenty for her right now.
It's going to be a great year! And I know by the end of it, they are going to seem so much bigger and look like such babies in their first day of school picture to me. This whole growing up thing just is not fair, I tell ya! Can't I just freeze time?
