The tide has turned.
For years and years I had to go to "Meet the Teacher" night before school started to meet my new students and their parents. Well, tonight, I went to my first "Meet the Teacher" night as a parent, not the teacher.
And it felt weird.
And sad.
Rachel was shy at first, but she warmed up before long, and began exploring the room. She met her teacher, Miss Jessie (I was so excited to find out that she actually has a teacher! A week ago they hadn't found one yet, and I was getting worried!), found her mailbox and hook, and played with toys around the room. We showed Daddy the playground (she and I had been there before, but Daddy hadn't) and I showed her the bathroom so she'd know where it was.
She didn't want to leave and on the way out she told us, "I like school!"
Let's hope she feels the same way on Thursday morning when we leave her there. I don't know if Daddy can handle two sets of tears that morning! (I'm already counting on mine....I just hope there aren't any from her!)
My baby is growing up, and I'm not ready for it!

Ugh - I KNOW! It's so crazy, I can't believe it. Our meeting isn't until next week beacuse we start so late, but I have butterflies already, it's just such a huge step. I can't wait to hear how her first day goes.
I hope she has a wonderful first day!
It is a weird feeling going from teacher to parent. I'm still getting used to it!
We just dropped Kaden off...no tears! My heart was fluttering and inside I felt so nervous and sad, but...no tears. I'm hoping every day is as easy as today was for him, and, that each day gets easier for me!
