I am excited. She will learn new things, spend time away from me, learn to play/fight with others and work it out without my intervention, and so many more things.
I am also a little sad. A little.
I am not sad that Miss M is growing up. It's wonderful to watch her grow and develop into a little girl. And I am reminded every day that she really isn't a baby although she will always be my baby.
I am not sure why I am sad. I think it's probably because we spend so much time together and have so much fun and now our time will be interrupted by school but sending her to school is the right decision.
She didn't put up a fight to go to school today. She did however put up a fight when I wanted to take her picture. She told me she didn't have any cheeses left and that I had taken all her cheese out of her.
Miss M received a book last year for her birthday called "the many moods of maddie". It's so fitting since Miss M has such a range of moods.
Here are a few pictures showing the range of moods I got from her within a time frame of less than five minutes.
Her teacher recommended a full-sized book bag instead of the toddler sized bags due to art/paper she will send home with the children. I bought Miss M a Doc McStuffins book bag since she's addicted to the show. She was more than willing to take her bag to school even though it's as big as she is. Inside her bag today was her puppy "Charlie", her alphabet Spot It game, and her blanket. She cried when I left but her teacher said her tears didn't last long.
When I picked her up (we stayed at the church since she was only in class for an hour today to ease them in) she was excited to see me and told me they played with puppets and sang "twinkle, twinkle little star (which is their class theme song). And they had goldfish for a snack. Snacks are important to a two year old.
I think we've found something good.
So cute Katy! I love seeing little tiny kids wearing big kid backpacks! Adorable!
