First day of school!

So, for the first time in 4 years, I will have a few days per week to myself. Can you hear the wine glasses clinking over here?



I have been prepping Eden for school for the last week or so. I tell her the story of what it will be like. I start with "One day, Eden woke up and said, 'Mommy, can I go to school today?'"......and on and on with the story throughout the day until I pick her up. For the first couple days, when I got to the part where..."and then Mommy said, 'goodbye Eden, I love you!' and then give her a big kiss and hug and say 'Mommy will be back soon, OK?"....her chin would start trembling and her eyes would fill with tears. It was so sad!! But the last couple days, she has made it through the story excited, happy and "ready for Ms. Tracy's class!!"

So, crossing my fingers all goes well. She is very well adjusted, so even if there are tears, I am confident she will have a great time and love school!
