September 7, 2011: The Day of Dread...


Reiny's 1st official day of Preschool.

Deep down I knew this day would come...to be quite honest, deep down I know the day will soon come that I'll be taking her picture at graduation or her wedding...but we'll continue living in denial about that for a bit longer. In any case, Reiny has started school this year, and she LOVES it! Ultimately, I should be grateful she loves school and isn't afraid to enter the door. However, a piece of me dies a little everytime I drop her off and she just doesn't have the time to hug or kiss me "bye-bye" because her "friends are waiting."

Her teacher this year is her Aunt Jilli, which is really nice for her. Jill has lots of fun activities for them. Reiny is always excited to tell me about all the fun things they did at school, which is a lot better than the generic answer to the question "what did you do at school today."

I feel lost at home without her. She goes to school from 8:15am to 12pm and Ryann naps from 9am-11:30am, so I don't even have her to help snuggle my cares away.

I don't want to boo-hoo about this other than to say, I miss my little girl, and it seems like now that school has started my days with her are numbered...

Reiny and her friend, Katie.

I know how you feel . . . I think next year will be really hard for me (more than this year).

She is getting so big!
