Today we all went on our tour of the pre-school we are praying we get into.
When I called and set up the appointment I was so excited, and then I cried.
It hit me.
Lily, going to school?
I mean, 8-2, a few days a week...I am going to be one huge (figuratively and literally) mess.
It is amazing how one day you wake up and your infant is now 3 1/2 and could be eating lunch in a cafeteria with her little friends in a month. How does that happen?
She brings so much light into our home, she is my perfect little princess-monster.
Don't get me wrong, by 8 PM I am usually excited for her bed time, but I am also so excited for her to wake up the next morning and start another day of adventure together.
There really isn't a specific point of this post other than:
I love Lily more than words can express,
and sending her off to school is going to break my heart, but in a good way, I guess.

You are not alone!!! We feel the same about cam. It is hard but nice at the same time.
Awe! I'm right there with you! I think Kaden will be going to Mom's Morning Out this fall. A couple days a week for only a few mornings a week. He wants to go so bad (most of his friends are there) and asks about going to "school" all the time.
*only a few hours a couple mornings a week. Typo*
break your heart in a good way...what a sweet way to put it :) I can't believe Lily is old enough for pre-school!! What a little lady :) I hope she gets into the pre-school you guys are praying for!
I bawled when Michelle went to first grade and still watch Aidan walk from the car all the way into the school before I drive off, and it always tugs at my heart strings. It is just not the same once they start school!

I know what you mean about being so relieved it is bed time, but so excited for her to wake up in the morning... kinda funny!
Bittersweet.
So, I'm still curious about your homeschool thoughts.
email me :)
