First Day of Preschool

As much as I don't love how well that top photo captured my chins, I needed to get a photo of myself with my giant baby. I can't believe she went to school today. These were taken this morning right before we left for school.

Just months ago I would have told you it was impossible, that she would be the kid bawling for Mommy. But she wasn't. She didn't even blink an eye when I said goodbye and is still talking about how much fun she had.

They have a trampoline (yikes!) and snack time. She said she licked the snack. I asked her what kind and she said it was an orange circle. I'm guessing those orange peanut butter crackers? It's just so strange she's off living her own little life two days a week that I don't know a thing about.

She is the Super Kid spotlighted on Thursday so today she got to bring home the class pet, Ted E. Bear. Thank heavens the class pet is not a live hamster or something.

Emmet made her a first-day-of-school card. Janna said he was worried about her going to school. He dictated the card...

Don't worry.
This has happened before.

I just can't get over how profound that is and he came up with it all on his own.
It applies comfortingly to everything I can think of.
Someone dies? Don't worry. This has happened before.
Accidentally buzz your head? Don't worry. This has happened before.

It's just a reminder that all of humanity goes through the same, how shall I say, crap. Someone has done it before you. Even the first day of preschool.
