Our Littlest Joy

Finally, it's the weekend!  We spent the last week creating some amazing memories.  It has been an exhausting but exhilarting time filled with fun, laughter, and a few tears.

Kaylin started preschool on Monday, we chose a private school near our home that continues through 12th grade, it's a cozy environment with small classes and a place we feel comfortable.  I cannot begin to tell you how excited Kaylin was about her first day, the night before we told her what to expect, practiced saying her teacher's name, and we taught her to raise her hand and say "I know, I know!"  Dropping her off on Monday morning was tough (for mommy and daddy, K was fine!)  It wasn't our first time leaving her during the day, she's been in daycare part time for almost 2 years, but this time was different.  This week starts the beginning of school, for the next 16 years she will be attending school 5 days a week.  While I feel like we are missing out on so much time with her I know that it is going to be great for her.  I do have to admit parts of it excite me too, I am enjoying making her fun lunches with special treats in them, the art work she brings home is proudly displayed all over the house, I even signed up to be a homeroom mom!  Kaylin, well she LOVES school, she chatters non-stop about her class and a certain boy named Sam.
