1st Day of Preschool
Today was bittersweet- my babies started Preschool!! I cannot believe they are going to preschool :( **sniff, sniff** but I keep reminding myself, it's only twice a week for 3 hours at a time. I honestly believe they are ready for something more, they need something more than what I can offer them here at home. They are ready for more than free play at home, a little structured play at home, playdates here & there. Today was HARD on me!! And Austen struggled more than the girls, but overall we all did great.
Here is the Big Guy all ready for preschool. He was soooo excited until he found out I wasn't staying (oh, was that hard for me to leave!)
Caitlen all ready to go- she did super all morning. Came home w/ a bit of a stomach ache... does that mean she may internalize things more??
Peanut all ready to go. She struggled on & off all morning, I think with the anticipation of what to expect.

I do feel very lucky knowing they have each other! I hope they lean on each other when they need it, but also spread their wings & know they are individuals! Oh, the tugs on the heartstrings today!!
