Today marks a BIG day for Ella. She started Pre-School this morning at Spanish Schoolhouse! How is it possible that she is old enough to start school? Where did my baby go?
Last night as I was putting her to bed, I got teary eyed thinking about her starting school (blame it on the pregnancy hormones 😏). Then when I was talking to Collin about it, he brought up the fact that close to 4 years ago we didn't even know if we would have one to be able to send to school. Much less another one on the way.
Back in February when everyone was registering their kids for school, we really didn't know where we would be. I am so glad that we got to stay here and know that we will be here for probably another 3 years maybe longer. The Spanish Schoolhouse has a great program and I think she will like it. It is really convenient to our house, which is an added bonus.

So how did the 1st day go...well she was fine until she thought that Boots was going to have to stay in her nap mat. We retrieved Boots and went on into the classroom. She was fine until her daddy went to hug her and tell her bye. She threw her arms around him and cried. And that's when mama lost it. She turned away and wiped her tears as she was running off to play. Let's just hope she stayed that way. I did call and check on her and they said she was perfectly fine. I guess we will see at 2:00!
This is a strange feeling for mom. I guess its terrible to admit that this is the first time Ella has ever been dropped off somewhere to stay without Collin or myself. Yes, she has stayed with my parents and babysitters but that has always been in the comfort of her home. It's a strange feeling when you leave your child somewhere. It was also weird walking back into the house without her. I can't tell you the last time I was home all alone. Poor Sunny paced around for a little bit looking for her. I assured him she was coming back.
I can't wait to go get her to see how she did and how her day was. Trust me I am going to like the 5 hour break 2 days a week, but it might take some adjusting! I can't wait to get things done around here that I can't seem to get done with a 2.5 year old.
In other news...I reached the 23 week mark on Sunday. It's hard to believe that I only have about 4 months left. Part of me wants it to go by fast and part of me wants to soak in all the alone time with Ella. I think she is getting excited about baby sister. I also try not to think about all that is coming up around the time this one is due. Looks like she will be an end of November or early December baby. That means...Christmas is going to have to go up before Thanksgiving or it might not get done! So we will have Thanksgiving, a baby, a 3rd birthday and then Christmas! Do we have great timing or what???
Until next time....
