First Day

Thursday, August 15, 2013

Last night we were in bed by 8:15 but not asleep until almost 11:00. She was so excited. This morning she was doing jumping jacks on the bed..."practicing" for gym class at school. Oh, the energy. Finally, as we got ready to go out the door, reality hit. "What if I miss you today mommy?" 

Hear the sound of my heart breaking.

I told her I love her when I'm with her and I love her when we are far apart. I told her any time she missed us, she should try talking to a new friend. As we walked through the doors of the school, my eyes filled with tears but I didn't want her to see. Gulp. 

Blast off!
