So today was my youngests first day of preschool. I am certainly not one of those moms who gushes and gets teary as my children head off to school. Each of my children are super social bugs. I'll admit I get nervous putting them in someone elses care, but no tears. And they don't shed any either. My daughter being the fashonista toddler that she is had a cute outfit all picked out for this morning. I was hoping the weather would be nice, but we were slammed with a serious cold front. We went from 90's to 60's overnight. So she was disapointed this morning when we had to bring out pants. A concept that is fairly new as the last time she wore them was over 6 motnhs ago. She was not to happy about having to wear socks either. I looked in the closet and picked out the only shirt that had both things she loves, pink and sparkles. She was fine with that as long as she could where her sparkle princess shoes. I have to tell you that she loves these shoes so much that even in the buff running around the house she puts them on. Its hilarious. Underwear and clothing are apparently optional but shoes are a must!
When we got to school she was so excited. She was use to the building as its where she has Sunday school. She went in, we talked about where the bathroom was and she ran off to play and never looked back. Not even a goodby kiss or hug. I admit I was sad about that. Landon always had a ritual, leaving with kisses, hugs and sighning I love you as we walked out the door. Perhaps Maddie and I will find our ritual too. When I picked her up she was all too excited to tell me about all the things she did. Singing songs was her favorite thing of course.
I enjoyed my time at home although I have to admit I cranked the music because it was earily quiet. I cleaned the entire house and it stayed that way for 3 hrs =) Sad right, I had 3 hrs to myself and I spent it cleaning. When my husband is gone I find myself cleaning alot, Sometimes I swear I clean in circles around my kids as they make messes. Plus, its just me so if I don't do it, it doesn't get done.
All in all the day was a success, no tears and fun times for my baby at school. Time really does go fast.
Wonderful blog! I remember sending the kids off those first school days. Even as they went into high school, the first day still had that "first day" magic. You'll find your own routine with the time you have alone.
