First Days of School

Mira started preschool yesterday! Ack! I'm still in shock that she's old enough for that, but so extremely happy too. New kids for her to play with and so much to learn. She was so excited. She walked right in, sat down on the rug and was ready to go. I think she had to great day. She wouldn't really talk about what happened, but she was happy and bouncy coming out of the classroom. I got a huge hug from her so I think she might of missed me.


Leia, however, missed Mira terribly as did Adia. Leia still can't go to preschool because she refused to use the toilet. They have a no diaper rule so she's out of luck. We're trying, but Leia just won't. We're hoping that after she sees Mira enjoying preschool that she'll change her mind. She's just so stinking stubborn.

After we dropped Mira off and got back in the van, Leia kept asking "Where's Mira moo? Why isn't she strapped in?" She didn't understand why we left Mira because it had always been Adia before. Adia's reaction surprised me the most. She's always fighting with her sisters and complaining about how they bother her, but she actually burst into tears! She wanted her Mira back and spent most of the morning asking if it was time to pick her up. Luckily, Adia is in morning Kindergarten now so she'll be completely preoccupied while Mira's in school 2 days a week.

Adia's first day of Kindergarten was today. I debated setting an alarm last night, but I figured the girls wouldn't over sleep. I was more than right. Mira popped up at 6:15am. So it was definitely an early morning and Mira's been whining, fussing and crying for most of it. When she doesn't get enough sleep, she's a crank butt.

Adia requested chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast so that's what I made. The girls devoured them and then it was time to walk to school. I love living close enough that we can easily walk. Adia wanted it to just be the two of us, so we walked together. I swear she powered walked the whole way there even though I told her we were way too early and she could slow down. We were about 20 minutes early, but that let me take some pictures of her.


We had to wait for the doors to open, but once they did, she quickly put her backpack and coat away and found her spot. No tears were shed and that always makes me happy. I'd much rather have the kid who barely says goodbye as opposed to the one who won't let go of my leg.


I can't wait to hear how her day went. I bet she has an awesome time. Her teacher promised me that she's seriously over protective of her kiddos so she won't let Adia get any gluten. She even bought Adia some chocolate covered pretzels for a special treat. How awesome is that?
