School update

Well, Sara was a little timid the first day of school. She soon got over that!! The second day she wanted to just be dropped off and allowed to walk all the way around the building BY HERSELF!! Can you believe it? She didn't want me to come!! But I insisted she let me walk her to her door and wait until the teacher came out. I was not ready to let her do it by herself. I knew there wasn't going to be as many parents there as the first day and that her teacher wasn't going to be outside waiting to meet the kids. She was frustrated with me so I promised I would just drop her off today. Well, she woke up this morning while I was in the shower, she came into the bathroom and the first thing that came out of her mouth was "Mom, can you just drop me off today?" I guess I need to come to the realization that my little girl is growing up and isn't going to need me to hold her hand forever. How sad :( The first day Sara went to school Evan said to me "You're a nice mom when Sara isn't here". (What? I guess I'm a mean mom when Sara is here.) After I chuckled he said, "'Cause she's not here to fight" He wasn't being mean. He just said it matter-of-factly. I guess it's true. When they are together they get on eachother's nerves and fight and I'm always trying to end it. Seems like that's all I do so it seems only right that he would think that. I've been trying to do some fun things with him for the next two weeks before he starts school. Tuesday I took advantage of having only 2 kids and was able to use my double stroller to go on a walk. We went to the park and walked around a couple times (almost 3 miles) and then stopped at the playground and played around. Kamri and Evan had a blast. It was fun.
