Children

School Time!

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nY8NedOLfWY] That’s my Pre-K kid at age 4, on the left.

My Big Girl is going into 2nd grade today.

As Mae brushed her teeth last night, she told me that she had butterflies in her stomach. I’m going to write a love note to put in her lunch. (Although I’m taking a very big chance that she’ll say, “Mama, that was soooo…. embarrassing!”) Last night, when I went to check on her at 10 p.m. - thinking smugly to myself, “Wow, what was a smooth bedtime that was!” — she wasn’t there.

I tip-toed down the hall to my room, and sure enough, she’d tucked herself into my bed.

P.S. Two hours after posting, here’s my P.S. at 9:34 a.m. As Mae walked up the steps to go to class, I came so close to crying. Whew, that was close. Just teary-eyed, that’s all.
