First Day Jitters

Oh Father Time, why do you steal the days away so quickly!  Upon our return from our evacucation, my sweet Marley girl started school!

Really it a Mother's Day Out program, three days a week.  The children get to do lots of art projects as well as learn the basics: colors, numbers, alphabets.  Most importantly though Marley gets to interact with other children because apparently I am not entertainment enough.

I reluctantly looked forward to her first day, though I knew she would enjoy it, this was MAJOR on the scale of growing up.  The thought of leaving her with someone besides family was terrifying to me!  I just kept praying, please don't cry, please don't cry because if she would have - and looked at me with those sad, wet, please don't do this to me eyes, I would have had to home school her for the rest of her life!  But sweet Marley took it like a champ and Tre' and I saw her sitting in her cubby and pouting through the window as we left - but no tears!  I didn't cry either even though the scenario that I played in my head over and over again involved much more drama!  Thankfully she loves it!  Every morning she looks forward to it and at the end of the weekend she begs to pweese go to school tomorrow!  This morning I dropped her off as her little friends looked excitedly out of the door I heard one of them say "Wook! There's Marwee!  Too Cute! She has however, promised me that she will stay little forever, so I'm pretty stoked about that.
