Another Funny Fall

It Has Only Just Begun

Laney's first day of Preschool!  I have been anticipating this day with hesitancy. She is my first born, I am a first born.  She is a rule follower, I am a rule follower.  We have similar personalities.  

I did not realize till later that Dalaney thought Preschool meant being gone all day till she talked to Grandma Boeckel.  Grandma had said, "It is only for a couple hours, then you get to go back home!"  Dalaney was then excited to start the day.

At this Preschool they have a wonderful drop off service where the teachers are waiting outside and take your kids in right from your car!!!!  I had decided we would be walking in instead to maybe soften the apprehension of not only Dalaney but maybe mom too.  Chris acted all tough like it I was being a "helicopter" mom but I could totally tell he was all for it.  So the whole family (Chris, Greta, and I) walked in, took pictures, asked Laney for a bunch of kisses, and made sure she had a friend to sit by.  When I started to walk away I felt the tears in my eyes but blinked them away.  And this is just PRESCHOOL!!!  

Yes, I am that mom and yes I am going to embrace it!
