Deep Breaths.

I knew this day would come. I always read other peoples posts about their kids going to school for the first time and while you can smile and say, that's nice, you just don't get it until you are taking your own. Maeve is starting preschool today. She was a bit apprehensive as I stated before this past weekend but since then, we have moved away from that. She is starting to tell me that she will be doing projects and playing with toys. I am nervous. I am scared. I am not sure why. I am so afraid that when I take her into that room she is going to burst into tears and I am going to want to pick her up hug her tight and run the hell out of there. I know this is not possible nor is it the best thing for her. She will be so much more independent when she goes. She needs friends her age. I am just going to have to hold onto that feeling- knowing we are doing the right thing. So honestly, why do I feel like I might throw up as I choke down my coffee? All the joys of parenting I guess. We are putting on her favorite Horton Hears a Who outfit, taking La La with us (teacher said its okay!), and strapping on her princess backpack and walking in together. I will post later on how she handles it (okay, okay, on how I handled it!).

Pics will also come in a later post. :)
