My little girl is in preschool... not mother's day out... not at Granny Franny's house but... PRESCHOOL!
Well she has been in preschool since August 9th, but this picture has been sitting in my camera for a few weeks for a reason. My battery charger was left here and I did not realize it until all power was out. I am just happy I was able to get the moment.
Addie was very excited to start back to school or as she calls it "preschool camp." This is her way of telling us she is at a different place verses last years "school" aka Mother's Day Out. Kyle had the pleasure of dropping off Addie for her first day festivities of painting a sunflower and reading The Kissing Hand. When I say pleasure, I use this is a very sarcasitic way because "firsts" with Addie are always hard but she did a great job according to her daddy. She found her cubby, her name tag, and her desk.
This is where I just cannot wrap my head around the fact that my baby has gone from rattles, diapers, pac 'n plays and bottles to rules, calendar time, line leaders, and backpacks in what I feel was a blink of an eye. I use to think the students I taught were so big but now it is dawning on me that they are just babes. At my school, especially the kindergarten teachers, play the "when will the teacher kids come?" game. I about fell in the floor when my little Addie's name was brought up in the conversation. Someone said, "She only has two more starts." Time. Goes. By. To. Fast. So here is to a year of learning... I pray she finds good friends, a spirit to be a life learner, patience to listen, wisdom to do the right thing, confidence to try something new and courage to face her fears.
