Last week, was a pretty crazy week Laine started preschool, had a short dance recital, we bought a Christmas tree and then decorated it. Monday we were suppose to get our tree, but it was too late and raining so instead we bought Lainey a small tree from target to put in her room; she was very excited, buying us time since we didn't get the tree as planned. Also exciting was the fact that on Tuesday she would be FINALLY, starting preschool, she has been looking forward to this since June (no lie). So we put her to bed, prepping her about listening to her teacher and being nice to others and such. She then tells me, "Mommy I am going to stay there all by myself, you aren't going to be there"; seriously if a bus were going to be picking her up in the morning she would have left with it no problems.
As a side, my kids do not like to wake up in the mornings; Eliot is usually up around 9 and Laine can easily sleep until 10 often even later… don’t hate.
Tuesday morning I go into wake her up around 7:45, “hey baby ready to go to school” she gets right up and hops into the bath we eat breakfast, pull Eliot out of bed and leave for school. After coming back home Eliot decides that the morning nap he has been trying to give up is now a necessity, so to the crib he goes. When E wakes up he points to Laine’s room and waves bye-bye; he misses his sister when she is gone. Back to the school to pick up my big girl, I talk to her teacher for a minute about their day and she tells me a couple highlights. They were talking about walking in the park Ms. J says asks what are some “houses” you would see in a tree, Laine replies “those are bird’s nest… oh and Ms. J park is P-A-R-K”. There was only a minor meltdown when we tried to leave, she thought she was going outside, but it was really time to be picked up… oops. Well we got our Christmas tree that night, she was having a great time; there were animals and all around fun times. After dinner, she asks as we walk in the door “Mommy, maybe tomorrow I don’t need to take a bath or eat breakfast, so I don’t have to wake up so, so early” I chuckled and said “we’ll see”.
