School Days

Well, the day started out nicely...then we talked with Dad on the phone and you could not stop throwing your food...we are assuming that you are just having so many feelings and you don't know how to express your sadness over missing dad and the confusion that this whole change has had on you. Once we said good bye you were back to your self and chasing the pugs around. It was so cute to see you so happy. We made it to school right on time and your little face was so confused when the teacher took you out of the car even with all the explanation you could see your little mind trying to figure out what was actually going happening. By 9:15 I was called to plan on getting you at 10, so i picked you up so full of tears and we went to get my hair cut which was such a crazy adventure as you just could not sit still. Home for lunch to talk with Duchess and Grandpa, nap then off the puppet show.
Oh did we just love the puppet show, you sat on my lap and just took the whole thing in while talking to all the animals on stage. Then we had a fun snack time in the park with your friends...it was great seeing you, Cole, Evertt and Nevia running around...you are all growing up so fast.
Swim school was great and you were so hungry that we had to stop for a burrito on the way home. You just did not stop today- you walked most of the long walk while balancing on the curb (your new favorite thing to do). After dinner you reminded me that if we did not have time to stop for ice-cream that you could have a popsicle, so we sat outside enjoy the summer night.
Early to bed as you took a short nap and never stopped moving all day. I am nervous about school tomorrow as I have a meeting with my Supervisor and you have already let me know that you don't want to go to school. We will see how the morning goes. It is really hard to leave you, but I found a great place for you, you will learn so much there, I get to follow my dreams and support the family, we get to play in the afternoons and weekends together and you get to learn to find comfort within yourself for a few hours each week day. I can't let you quit just because the first day was hard. I am going to be strong for both of us tomorrow and know that it will just take time and we will both get through this. In just a few weeks you will be so excited to go to school that you will be rushing me out of the house.
I am loving growing with you.
