Zoey, this is what I want you to remember about today: After yesterday's disappointing cancellation of your first day, I think you were doubly excited to go to school this morning. You insisted on wearing your new pink boots even though it was 85 degrees outside. You went right into the classroom, put your bag in your cubby, gave the apples to your teachers, found your name tag, gave Mommy a kiss, and didn't flinch once. No tears, no clinging, nothing. Mommy cried all the way down the hallway, until I saw another mother sobbing and then I just started laughing and I was fine. Mrs. Drew emailed us later in the day to say that you loved the stop sign game and were attentive and helpful all morning. My favorite part of today was when you came running to me after school exclaiming, "Mommy, mommy!" It made my day. I also loved hearing about your morning the whole way home and at random times during the day. You seemed to remember every detail and I loved hearing your version of everything. I am so excited for you to have this time. I sure do love you.

Dalene - this post totally made me cry. I'm still crying - for both of you!! Happy and sad tears at the same time! I am so happy and excited for Zoey because I know how ready she is for this part of her little life. And so sad for you that she is AT this part of her little life!
Tick-Tock!
Love and happiness to you both!
Love you!
What a great day! I'm so happy she had a great time. It is hard to imagine how time flies right now. So, so fun. We just wish you were at our preschool & we could see you all the time!
It is just a shame she is not cute at all. ;) Hopefully she will find a lifelong friend in her preschool years like I have found in you. Looking at these preschool pictures of Zoey reminds me of you! Enjoy these years of Zoey's joy at seeing you at the end of the school day as I hear they eventually go away.
So sweet! Thanks for sharing!
Such cute pictures! I can't imagine sending my baby off to school
What a fabulous post!!!
I still cry when they leave me. I have no idea how I will survive when they leave home...
... in less than three years.
Talk about tears.
We finally got the internet after two months. I haven't been on here forever so forgive me for not posting. Your girls are gorgeous and they are getting so big. I loved reading all of your posts. Zoey cracks me up. We sure miss you guys. We have to start planning a family get together for next year. That way everyone can come and their are no excuses. I have got to see you guys.
