Isabella is officially a kindergartener and Sophia is a 2nd grader. How did this happen? When did my little babies become such big girls.
Tuesday was aa fairly easy day for me; Sophia had a half day and Isabella had orientation (We went to meet her teach and explore her classroom for about an hour.).
Today, on the other hand was miserable. If you follow me on instagram @reneefitformotherhood you read that I was a complete mess while sending my girls off. Seriously, I couldn’t stop crying. I felt as my heart was broken. I felt as though my heart was shattered into a million pieces.
I know part of our job as parents is to raise our children to be able to go out into the world on their own, but it is still not easy. You invest so much time and energy into your children only to let them go.
Isabella was more then ready for her first full day of kindergarten. While I was crying (I just couldn’t hold them back; I tried) she looked at me and said, “Mama it’s okay, please don’t cry”. Isabella loved riding the bus with her sister and friends. She loved everything about today. She was one happy little girl.
At the end of the day my Isabella was all smiles. She can do this and so can I!!
She has tomorrow off (I can’t wait to spend the day with her), but goes back on Friday. Our district eases the kindergarteners into the full week. Next week will be regular schedule.
