Time for mommy to do some bragging! The kids are just awesome little people. Today was their first day back to school which meant an earlier morning around here. They ate breakfast which was scrambled eggs, got dressed, and didn't throw a major fit about pictures! Hey, the last one is a huge event and I'm celebrating it!! Anyway, we get to the school and found their classroom. They will all three be in the same room this school year and it is the same teacher Madi had this summer. We are so happy and Madi loves her teachers. Anyway, as soon as Madi saw her she was ready to go into her class and I actually had to stop her to have her tell Ricky and I bye! Brody was so excited about school since the moment he woke up this morning and quickly followed Madi into class. Gracie was a bit more reserved which is totally her personality but did very well too. It wasn't the send off I thought we would have as I thought they would at least let us say a proper goodbye but nope, they are so very independent and have confidence which I'm over the moon about!
I am so happy we found this preschool for them. Ricky and I both feel good about leaving our kids there which says a lot about the place. I feel so great as a mom that my kids have confidence in themselves to go into something new and not melt down and freak out. There were many kids and parents crying their eyes out. In my opinion, that is the worse thing you can do as a parent in a situation like that. Do I miss the kids while they are gone for 5 hours a day? You bet but you know what, I have to not think about my selfishness and think what is best for them and this is what is best for them. They are thriving, learning so much, and most importantly so happy.
Brody, Madi, & Gracie,
I am so proud of the big kids you are turning into. Although it's hard to see you grow so fast, I am so happy at where each of you are and I know independence comes with growing up. You are each so loved everywhere you go and this preschool is no different. You three are rock stars to the staff there. I know this year will be wonderful and you will each learn so many great things. Daddy and I are so excited and feel so honored to be able to watch your grow and so very blessed to call you ours.
We love you so much!
Mommy & Daddy
