1st day of Preschool

Today was probably the most emotional day for me since the girls were born. The girls had their 1st day of preschool today!

The three of us have been use to our daily regimen of waking up around 8am, eating breakfast together while watching our daily fix of The Wiggles or The Doodlebops. Then showering up and getting ready for our day together.... just the 3 of us....

it's all changed as of today...

we went to bed earlier than usual last night to prepare for the BIG day and woke up around 7am (it felt like the 1st day of school for me!), ate our breakfast and got ready for school. I made the girls lunch, something that is new for me, and packed it in their backpacks...off to school by 8am. The girls did fine until I had to stay longer than usual since it was their first day. When it was time for me to leave, Hannah wanted to "come home" and as much as I wanted to scoop her up and take her home with me, I had to be the strong Mommy and tell her is was all going to be okay and I would be back later to pick them up

...probably the hardest thing I've ever had to do...

when I picked them up at 12pm their teacher, Miss Kendall, couldn't have had better things to say about the girls. She was pleasantly surprised at how well the girls did. She figured they would have clinged to each other since they are in the same class and not socialize, but much to her and my surprise, they voluntarily sat at different table during the learning lesson and played with separate groups at play time!

I am so proud of my BIG girls...
