Wait...What Just Happened???

How the heck did we go from this....


to this????


Yes, Bianca started her first day of preschool this morning and although we knew it was coming for a while now, there is really no way to prepare yourself as a parent to let your little "baby" go. We talked about what she was going to do at school for the past few weeks, "you are going to say a prayer and the pledge of allegiance, then you are going to sit in a circle with your classmates and talk about the weather, day of the week, letters, you are going to have a snack and go outside and play...". The usual preschool stuff. I let Bianca pick out a lunch box on the computer and we anxiously awaited it's arrival in the mail. She has become a little obsessed with the "Under the Sea" themed bag and has played with it ever since she was able to get her grubby little hands on it. This morning she told me how excited she was about going to preschool. But, when it came time to hand her off to her teacher, this is what happened...

Fortunately, it was pretty short-lived and I was able to keep it together (for the most part) as she made her way into the classroom. I was able to peek my head in and if you look closely, you will see my big princess finding her way to the crayons.

I know she is in great hands at her school with loving teachers who are going to teach her not only about numbers and letters but, God and being kind and giving to others...all of the wonderful stuff that is going to help Bianca blossom into the little lady she is already becoming.

BUT, I can't wait to pick her up today!!!

Happy first day of school Bianca! It's so exciting but yet so heartbreaking at the same time, watching your little baby girl walk on alone to learn from someone other than you. I remember, I cried like a baby last year when we sent Cesca off. Bianca is going to do awesome though! It will be so great for both you and her. :)
