and of course the nagging worries about life according to a school calendar:
will we see extended family as much as we'd like to? how much insanity will result from a 7:30 AM start time? will she and her brother still be buddies? will she still have enough time to play? (the racing with a good friend til you're red in the face with an occasional coloring break kind of play)
*some reassurance came this week when she learned how to put her hair in a ponytail; however, further reassuring comments welcome!

This made me cry!! And their farewell playdate yesterday just about did me in. I might have to steal this post for my blog because trust me, I've been up at nights feeling the same way. The only thing I can say is that they are probibly going to love every minute. It's just us home crying. Maybe we should have a crying-first-day-of-school-playdate ourselves?!!
This really took me back in time...21 years to be exact. I remember it so vividly. Larkin was still taking naps in the afternoon and you want her to go to school?!?!?! She was a bit nervous and excited on the way. Once there, she played and seemed a bit hesitant. The bell rang and she didn't even look back! I wanted to run and hug her and walk her inside... I was the one with tears, sad but true. I am grateful she didn't see my tears, some parents were totally wailing in front of their munchkins:( I must warn you this was repeated every year when school began at my house. I just never really liked having them gone all day. . . Kindin will do great with her personality. I will be thinking of you and remembering.
She will love it. And you will learn to. I promise.
I'm right there with you! It is just too soon!
This is Stover Girl we are talking about, she came out of the womb ready for school. You will adjust and enjoy a change in your relationship with stover boy!
