Sorry, no pics but need to document! Today was meet the teacher day at Kirkley's new preschool. We have been talking it up as the last school year ended with her not wanting to go each day -- really after her hospital stint and lots of time at home with mommy. She's very concerned that mommy will stay with her at school...which of course happened today since it was just a visit. Hoping she will change her tune when she realizes it's only for three hours twice a week. This sounds like a ton after spending virtually all of our time together this summer. I told Alex, I am misty eyed about it. Our summer at home has been precious -- pool, playdates, park...messes, spanking spoons, lectures...it's all about balance. :) And we love our mornings...but seeing as how they typically begin before 6 and school doesn't start until 9...we'll still have them for the most part!
I am L-O-V-I-N-G being able to be home...as school started back this month...the love grew more! :) Especially loving it now that I'm not in my first 20 weeks totally pooped phase anymore. The pace is so different -- no more scooping her out of bed {note that we often had to wake her up when she went to school} and marathon feeding, dressing, brushing, etc. I enjoy some {diluted} coffee and she enjoys a pumpkin muffin {oh yes, I've already busted out fall pumpkin bread/muffins!} before we smooch daddy off to work. I am S-O thankful to have this year off of work and time with Kirkley and soon Jay. Speaking of, discussions have been brewing about sharing with Baby Jay. She was less than thrilled Saturday to see that she'd "shared" a few stuffed animals with him that stayed put in the nursery. I explained she still had 672 in her room and the problem seemed resolved. This morning we discussed sharing mommy -- didn't go over so hot. We'll keep trying!
Back to meet the teacher...Kirkley was so excited to head up there and meet her new teacher. She is way proud of her backpack...so big! She walked right into her classroom, checked it all out...she read some books, inspected the kitchen and baby dolls, said hi to friends {glad she has several in her class she knows}, and seemed to have a lovely time! We'll hope for more loveliness as we drop off for the first time Tuesday morning -- from her and mommy -- no promises for either of us!

We are going through the same things! Mackenzie goes to meet her teacher tomorrow, she is so excited that I don't think it can live up to her expectations! I'm also so sad for her to start school 2 days a week. It's crazy how staying home a lot can change your perspective :) Good luck on Tuesday!
