So I took a four month hiatus from the blogosphere. How embarrassing. This is supposed to be a record of my life and my poor daughter Laura Jane has about four posts about her. My reason? My life with three kids. a.k.a. "The Game Changer" (which is a blog post in itself.) Suffice it to say I am spending all my energies on raising three little kids and keeping up a home. I can honestly say working part-time with two children was much easier than not working with three children. Another post to elaborate on that one later.
So it has arrived. The milestone of sending my dear babes into the public school system. I have grown to adore this little love bug and her wisdom, wit, helpfulness and love of life. Sending her off to be taught by a stranger has been something I have dreaded all summer.
As I shed a few tears the night before her first day of school she said the following:
"Don't be sad. I need to go to kindergarten to learn and make friends. I'll come home for dinner. You'll be okay Mom."
How could I not smile when I heard that? So I sent her off today to early bird kindergarten to one of the best K teachers in the history of our school with a hug, a kiss and a wave. She beamed at her teacher, excited for her day. She was ready for this day.
And I was ready to set her free without shedding a tear. Especially since she was home back with me well before dinner.

| School is a beautiful place to this girl. So happy to learn. |
A few things: 1) I cannot even imagine adding another kid to our mix at this point. 3 is hard. 2) You are amazing and beautiful (per usual, duh) 3) Time flies! I can't believe you have on in school!
