I took it worse than she did! She was super excited to start on a new adventure. Thankfully, it's a small private Christian academy that teaches out of homeschooling curriculum. So, I get partial points in the homeschooling department?
I took a ton of pictures and bawled like a baby. She didn't even blink an eye.
We both prayed over her and then had family prayer before loading up the crew into the van. Since its her first day, they let me walk her in.
I held it together until I started walking out - without her. Aside from Sunday School, she's never been away from me, so it'll be an adjustment period. But I know she'll have a blast coz there's a friend in her class with her.
Now I'm at home with just the boys and its so quiet without her singing. We're taking it easy today, but I'm thinking about what we'll do for routine. Maybe take a walk down the cul de sac when we get back from dropping her off.
It's the beginning of a new chapter in our lives - having school aged kids. Sad to see her go, but excited to see how she'll exceed and what she'll learn.
Gosh, I love that girl!
I won't post pictures with the school logo, but here are some sweet shots from this morning.
Awwww. She looks so happy. And her sparkly pink shoes are adorable.
ReplyDeleteI'll be praying for you during this adjustment period. Enjoy that time alone with your boys :)
