The Preschool Files

Today is my sweet baby girls first day of Preschool. How do I feel about that? Well, let me tell you. I thought I was doing great, I had some distractions early this morning with getting the boys to school and getting my big girl ready for her first day. All was going great, ‘it seemed’. It appears that I failed to notice that both my baby girl and I were both ‘nervous’. I was nervous for different reasons than my ‘lil girl of course. As she was getting ready for school and while we were driving to school, her worries were that the kids might not like her and that I wouldn’t come back and get her. While mine were purely selfish in not wanting to let go. (see a pattern here with me?)

As we pulled into the parking lot, I assured Gilli that I would pick her up after school and that everyone would love her because she is just a sweetie bug. After that she politely asked mom to stop talking now. (sniff) I know that God prepares us moms for these days when we must send our children off, but it is silly how I can forget all of that as I am driving off, sobbing. Of course I wasn’t able to run the errands I needed to because I couldn’t control MY emotions. I cannot wait to pick them both up this afternoon and hug them both so tight.

Lord, thank you for these two precious children, please bless each of them and protect them in their classrooms and school. Help me to be able to just ‘let go’ and trust in you 100%. In Jesus precious name. Amen
