I once heard a quote about motherhood that said something about how, as a mother, the days drag on forever, but the years fly by so quickly. Since Mya was born, I've believed this--but today it hit me like a ton of bricks. Today was Mya's first day of preschool!
We were lucky to get her a spot at a nearby preschool, Children's Discovery. We know many people who have absolutely loved the school, and we couldn't be more excited about it. I didn't expect to be terribly emotional about today. I did alright as she got out of the car, and only choked up a little as she walked away. But when I got home and looked at Max, I lost it... For a moment, I didn't see Max, I saw this...
My sweet little angel--the time really has flown by. As exciting as today's milestone was, it was definitely bittersweet. I love seeing Mya grow and learn and develop. And I love how independent she is... But a part of my heart aches to think about how she (along with all of my children) are going to grown up. And all too quickly!
And here's my little angel this morning, bursting with excitement to go to her new school!
And here's Mya with Miss Dee, the owner and director of Children's Discovery. The teachers at the school load and unload the children each morning--VERY nice!
And here she is... walking away.
When I picked her up, she was just buzzed with the excitement from her first day! She absolutely loved it. She told me all about playing on the playground, singing songs about ducks, and making a jack in the box toy. She said that all of her new friends are really nice, and so are her teachers. I know Mya will love it, and I'm so excited for her and for this new adventure!
