First Day of Preschool - yes, there were tears..

The kids started preschool on August 21st and they were SO EXCITED!

They only go 2 days a week for 2.5 hours so I didn't think it would be hard at all...

for me, I mean.

 As soon as I said it was time to get ready for school, the kids ran to their closets and this is what I walked into :)

How cute right?

They picked out their own outfits and shoes and they were so ready to go!

We had gone to orientation the week before so they were semi-familiar with the layout of the place so they walked right in and started playing in their front area.

I said, "Goodbye guys!  I love you!  Have a fun time!"

And they all said, "okay, mommy have a fun time too.  Bye!"

No tears, no fears, I was so happy and proud of them.

 Love, love, love their preschool!

I took these few pics and then I was on my way.

I waved, said goodbye and yes, as I turned my head, tears rolled down my cheeks!

I thought of the day they were born, they day they came home from the hospital, their 1st birthday and everything between then and now in about 10 seconds and could not believe how blessed we have been with these 3.  They are so amazing and such good kids!  I didn't cry because I was sad and worried but rather proud that we had made it to this point happily and a little part of me thought it was strange to leave them with people that weren't related to me but I love their teacher already and am so grateful for people who bless my kids life.

Happy 1st day of preschool Jax, Austin and Rio!  So proud of you - it's just the beginning of your amazing journey of learning.
