Aubrey's 1st Day of Kindergarten!

Today was the day that I've been dreading for the past few months - the first day of kindergarten. While Aubrey has been counting down the days because she's been so excited, I've been hoping to wait as long as possible. It's not that I don't want my baby girl to grow and learn, it's just that I hate that she'll be away from me more than she'll be with me. Plus, she's such an awesome helper, a great playmate for her sister, and is so helpful with Coye. It's going to be such an adjustment for us all. Today was only a half day so she came home before lunch. Thank goodness! I was very proud of myself. I was able to stay composed for the most part. It was hard to say goodbye to her in the classroom, even though she was perfectly fine, and I only teared up a little. It wasn't until after leaving her in her room when one of my friends asked how I was doing that I almost lost it. They had opening chapel this morning, but because Coye hadn't yet eaten, we went home. Poor boy, he had to get up early this morning (7:45 a.m.). Yesterday he didn't get up until 10:15 a.m. He's going to have to adjust his schedule according to school now. On the plus side, I was able to get my upstairs cleaned this morning before going to pick up Aubrey. The first thing she said was that she didn't want to come home - she wanted to stay all day. At least she loved school and is happy to be back. She had a great morning and is excited to stay all day tomorrow!
