Well Mikara's first week of school is almost over. She is really enjoying it but is pretty tired by the time I pick her up. She likes to sleep in so she isn't used to getting up early. Bedtime is easier with both girls getting up so early.
I was trying hard not to think sad thoughts on the first day of school. I know she loves school and her friends.....for crying out loud its only half of a day right?! I think it is something about your first child....since I tried to think positive thoughts I was able to go to a better place in my mind. This is starting a new chapter in Mikara's life and she is going to have this part of her life that I won't know EVERYTHING about anymore. For the past 4 years I have known EVERYTHING about her day. I look back at the past 4 years with no regrets! I have been able to do anything and everything with Mikara (and Savanah once she came along) I've done ballet, gymnastics, tons of playdates, the parks, the beach, storytime, and tons of playtime at home including crafts, baking, pool etc. I don't feel like there isn't anything I wished I would have done. I am so grateful to have had that special time with her before she started school. So as Mikara ventures on to her own school world....now I can focus on that one-on-one time with Savanah. It's a really good time to have her alone because she will be 2 1/2 next month and at this point she is able to do just about anything and enjoy it. Although we do miss having Mikara with us all the time we are going to make the most out of our time together too!
