The day before

Today. It was a wonderful day. We went to Green Lakes. We fished, swam, ate, played. It was wonderful. You took risks - swimming all by yourself, climbing high on the playground, touching and playing with worms. I loved watching you and all of your innocence. You had fun. I had fun. Aiden and daddy had fun. It was wonderful.

We then came home and we started to get ready for school tomorrow. We picked out your clothes for the week and put them on the day hangers. We made your lunch - special yogurt, peanut butter and jelly sandwich cut in 4, snow peas, carrots, dipping sauce, and fruit. We put it, along with your soccer water bottle, in your lady bug lunch box. It then went into the fridge. We packed your backpack - extra clothes incase you need them. We washed your blanket for you to have at quiet time. Before you went to bed you wanted to all watch a movie together and snuggle. When you requested that you made me smile inside. I just - oh I don't know. It was so sweat - and just what I needed. My little girl snuggling up with me, her daddy, and her brother. A family. It was then time for bath and bed. I helped you take a bath and then daddy put you in bed.

After about 15 minutes of you and daddy reading books and giggling in bed I went up and reminded daddy that you have school tomorrow. I then got to lay with you. You were much more serious with me. You asked about school. You wanted to know who was going to drop you off, pick you up, where would Aiden go. You seemed nervous and yet excited. You asked me if I would stay with you. Oh darling...how I do want to stay with you. I would stay with you all day if I could. I told you I had to go to work to, to my school. I promised I would stay for a few minutes but then I would have to go. You wanted to know how long you would stay - I said all day. You asked what you would do - I replied with singing songs, reading books, learning ABC's, going outside. Again you seemed excited but nervous. You said you didn't know any songs so we sang a few together - Old McDonald, Mary Had a Little Lamb, Wheels on the Bus, Twinkle Twinkle. All the songs I knew that you knew. You asked again about someone staying with you at school - I tried to reassure you that your teachers would be with you - Ms Holly and Ms Jenny. You told me you would miss me lots. My heart melted. I will miss you too baby. So much!!

I love you so much. You are so big now. You can do it!!!
