Vacation is officially over and not a good start to this week. My iPhone ringer was turned so low I did not hear the alarm at all. I woke up at 7:45 on my own. Right when the tardy bell rings at school. I somehow was able to get us all dressed and out there door in 15 minutes.
The bad thing is this was supposed to be the morning that Emma walked from the van to class by herself. I tried to get her to walk from the office to the class by herself but it was a no-go. Then I walked to the end of her hall and tried to get her a go. She simply could not make herself leave me. She started crying pretty hard and I ended up walking her down the hall so she wouldn’t disturb the classes. She had stopped crying by the time she got to class and went in ok. Now I feel like we’re starting over again.
Lexi on the other hand went into her first day of preschool with no problems AT ALL. She barely turned to say bye when she walked in her class. In fact when were trying to drop Emma off Lexi kept saying, “Mommy, when I go to big school, I will walk to my class by myself.”
They’re just two different kids. I can’t explain it.
[…] three years ago we sent little Lexi off to preschool without a hitch. It hasn’t been without its drama. I mean, COME ON, bad snacks and no playground time […]
