I feel this is the beginning of a new era, that of school age children. Okay, just one for now but it still seems crazy. Katya had a pretty good first day of Kindergarten. She gave me a big brave smile as I said goodbye, then broke down and cried really hard. I kept my path for the door which they promptly close at 7:50am, and then had a little cry myself. Such an emotional day! Katya's teacher said she did really well and she was all smiles after school. We pick them up at noon for the first two weeks, then it will be full days which is 3pm, 2:10 on Wednesdays.
Day two, she also cried when I left. It seemed even harder for me, for some reason. It is so strange to not go to an comfort her when she is upset. I was so focused on saying goodbye to her, that I started to walk out the door holding Reagan's hand, and leaving Elsie! Wow. That is not like me. I have a picnic lunch all packed and will be leaving to pick her up soon. I sure love walking to and from school! I hope to keep it up as long as the weather is nice. The bummer with half days is that Elsie has been going down at 10am and I have to wake her to go get K. But I sure love spending the rest of the day with ALL my girls:-) I have been so spoiled in that they are rarely out of my direct care, I think this transition is just as hard on me as it is for Katya!
