Ahhh, such mixed emotions sending off my little girl! On one hand I know this is good for her and she needs assistance with her talking skills, and she is learning things she wouldn't with me here at home. On the other hand, she is still so little! Only three! And I know, if given the choice she'd much rather be at home with her mommy. She is still so little! We've been talking this up for a while, we went and visited her teacher, whom she was excited to see, and her classroom and where she'll hang her backpack on her little butterfly hook. I took her out yesterday, just she and I and got some more clothing items, some socks, cute undies and a present for her classroom. We came home and wrapped it together. I asked her where a safe place would be to keep it and her face lit up, "I have idea! My backpack!" and ran and got it. She really is sounding better and I really am curious what this year will bring. Today for the most part she has been excited about the bus coming but every now and then would sort of change her mind. Tug on the heart strings. I got her all bathed and dressed in her adorable outfit, which she loves. She insists on dressing herself, shoes and hair flower. She does such a great job. We had a snack with Eli and Zeke, then while we waited for that bus to come we read a book together about riding a bus to school, which kept getting her excited. Finally Jon came home- which I was so grateful for because I had to take Eli soon on his first day, and still no bus. I started getting the sinking feeling I was going to miss seeing her off. I hope this is not going to be a problem this year! We all went outside to watch for it, and finally I really needed to get Eli to school, so I gave my little Paisley a kiss and a tight hug, told her I loved and I'd see her after school. She was all smiles and waved me off. So cute in her little backpack! When I got back I had missed her :( But Jon said she did just great, laughing and all smiles when it pulled up, gave her dad a big hug and kiss once she was sitting down and waved him off! I'm so glad! I guess it is better I wasn't there because I know I would have been teary, and she doesn't need to see that. Now the big question is when will she be dropped off? We'll see. I may end up taking her or picking her up, depending. I can't wait to see her and hear how everything went! I love my little miss Paisley girl!
