1st Day of School

Charlotte had her 1st day of Mother's Day Out this morning. She was excited to pack her backpack and tote around her lunch box.

Can't you feel her excitement??!!

That excitement lasted throughout the car ride and into the school but ended as we were walking to her classroom. She suddenly stopped and said, "No Mama No, Car, Car, CAR!"

I picked her up and as I was carrying her to the classroom, I explained to her that she'd have fun with her friends and that Mommy would be back soon. She wasn't buying it too much, but she acted like such a big girl and went into her classroom well. I received a call from the director shortly afterwards saying that Charlotte was having a wonderful time and "acting like she'd been there her whole life" ~ such wonderful news for a mom to hear!!

This is Charlotte's teacher walking her to the car. (We have to drive up in a carpool line and wait for the staff to bring our kids to the car and put them in the car seat themselves.)

She's growing up too fast!
