First day of School

Ok- so I decided Maddie was going to Pre-School. She is a social butterfly and a sponge for knowledge. I had been with her for 2 years trying to teach her things and knew it was time for someone else to educate my child.



Preparations for Pre-School-

Back to school shopping. Even at almost 2, she needed the perfect outfit to wear. She had to make a good first impression. I could have shopped for days, but Daniel had to cut me off.

We talked to Maddie about school, meeting new friends and about her teachers. I also was trying to prepare myself emotionally. (I have left Maddie over night and with sitters before. So this should have been easy.



Night before school-

Maddie got a bath and her hair blow dried (she loves this). We laid out her clothes and she tells me what she wants for breakfast the next day.



First day of School-

We are all up and dressed. Maddie is looking a precious little princess and seems to be excited about school. Daniel comes with me or drop Maddie off for emotional support. As we walk her into school- I lose it. I am already crying, luckily Maddie isn't even looking at me. We get to her classroom, the teacher takes Maddie and says, "Thanks Daniel" I guess she didn't want me to cry anymore. Maddie cried a little, but I found out it didn't last long once she got to do Spin Art. So, I continue to cry my way out of Pre-School with all the other Mommies.



The 3 hours away from Maddie were the longest 3 hours. I was ready to see her and see how her day went.

I pick her up and she is super excited to see me. She babble the whole way home. I think she was so excited words weren't coming out.



Moral of the story- I don't know how I'm ever going to make it through Kindergarten.
