Yesterday was great! Maggie's day at school went well. Since it was only a half day, it seemed to go by pretty fast. Max went with Papa and Jane to Farm Park yesterday, so after school was out, I was able to take Maggie to lunch. Just the girls! It was a nice treat for both of us. There were several moments when I looked across the table at my little girl and recalled the times when she was a baby and I couldn't wait for her to talk to me, to tell me about her day, to tell me she was a little nervous or scared. Then as I sat there, I thought about how long she would want to do this...go to lunch with her mom. I thought about how long she would want to hang out and tell me things about her day. I decided not to think about all that stuff and just enjoy the moment we were in. It was a great Maggie-Mommy moment.
Today is the first full day. Today is going to be the hard one for me. I packed her lunch this morning and she was so excited. I was not as excited...but I tried very hard to hide it. She is going to be just fine. I know that! But it just doesn't seem to make it any easier.
At least I have Max to keep me company for a few more weeks till he starts school. I think we will be doing a lot of praying today, and a lot of cleaning today to help the time go by faster. I'm sure after a few weeks of this new routine, I will be loving it!

Hugs! I think the whole neighborhood will be cleaner after this week. I dumped Isaac's closet today for some organizational therapy. Is it time to go get the girls yet?????

My kids start Tuesday. This Tuesday we had Open School, where the kids can go in and preview their classroom. My 4th grader is starting at a new school (moving from a primary to intermediate building). I left with tears in my eyes and an "embarrased" 9 year old. How can he be this old already?! My middle guy is in 2nd and my baby is only 1 year away from K-garten! Where does the time go?! I hope things went well for you both today!
If it makes you feel any better, Lily and I are still going strong with our mom and daughter first day of school outing in 6th grade...I for one am hoping it never ends! I figure I'm 35 and I'd love to go to lunch with my mom... =)
Glad to hear Miss Maggie is so excited!
