Today was Kalyn’s first day of Pre-K for this year (she went last year too).  AND I DON’T HAVE ANY PICTURES!!!

I got my camera ready to snap some shots and realized the battery was completely dead.  NOOOO!  I was very upset with myself, but I suppose we will try again tomorrow. 

Kalyn was so excited to start today.  She woke up without any fussing and got ready—encouraging Heath, Keali, and I to hurry up so we could get there.  They won’t let you in until 7:45, so it doesn’t do any good to get there earlier than that.  We finally got there and she walked in like she owned the place!  It was cute, funny, and heartbreaking. 

Kalyn hugged and kissed us goodbye.  I signed her in and asked for one more hug/kiss.  She came over, smiled and said, “I will miss you Mommy!”  I told her she wouldn’t.  She assured me she would, but needed to go play.  Broken Heart.

Worse Broken Heart? (Is that bad English?)  I went to pick her up after school (she is in after-care so I can pick her up when I get off work).  She took one look at me and burst into tears.  I thought she was happy to see me and was too excited to tell me about her day. 

I was wrong.

I got closer to her and she screamed, “I don’t want to go home!!”  Great.  Heart Break!!  And the teachers probably think I beat her.

What a day!!  Off to snuggle the girls while we watch Narnia.

It's hard to watch children grow up especially when you have moments like that. It's just all the new excitement of getting back into a known routine for her. Just wait until the babies come. She won't want to go some days. :)

I LOVE it!! It makes me laugh how things are harder on us than it is on them. My problem is my daughter doesn't want to go to the "insert new place here", but when I go to pick her up she doesn't want to leave. We'll see how kindergarten is next week.
