It was kind of a bittersweet morning for me. I was glad that she was going to school (I'm a former teacher and BELIEVE in early education), but I was also really sad. I was with her every day this summer and now she's in school three mornings a week. Now, don't get me wrong, I am grateful for some time to get things done in the A.M., but I miss her! AGGHHH, my baby girl is growing up!
When we dropped her off, we were snapping pictures like crazy people (as were the other parents). Tim suggested that we say our good byes, but I quickly said "not a good idea". We needed to sneak out quietly. As soon as I said that, Caroline's head popped up and WAHHH the tears came. We told her good bye and we loved her and walked out the door. We waited outside the door for a few seconds. We obviously looked like first timers and immediately another mom asked which one. "Oh, she stopped crying as soon as you walked out the door." Whew!
As we were pulling out the driveway, I remembered that I forgot to remind her teacher that Caroline is potty trained. Crap! I just knew that we were going to pick her up and she would be wearing new clothes. I was so bummed (first because the other clothes weren't as cute and second, because I was stupid to forget!). But, I was wrong! Miss Jessica said she went to the potty and "did her thing". :) Yay!
We can't wait until Friday for another successful day at school!
Oblivious that we were taking pics!
Look at her name on the table! So cute!
Each day, Caroline's teacher posts the "news" of the day.
The first stop of the morning...math center!
Family picture! She doesn't look too impressed! Notice I took the diaper bag...what was I thinking??? Friday, we will have a bookbag!
On the way to school. She wanted to take her tennis racquet with her!
Waiting on me to stop taking pictures so we can get in the car!
Caroline's Very FIRST picture of her First day of school!
