WHAT????

Well it was time. Rowyn's first day of pre-school. The closer it got the more emotional I got. I tried not to cry in front of her so she wouldn't think there was some reason to be scared. She was so excited. Talking about all of the things she would do. The closer the date came, the more mature her thoughts and words. Reese was so excited. Excited that "I jus two and when I tuwn fouw I jus gonna go to schoo." And if you asked Reese what we were going to do while Rowyn was in school? "We jus go to da ocean, owe da zoo..." She had BIG plans for her alone time with Momma.

SPECIAL DAY!!

So excited

I can't believe this little angel I just brought home from the hospital has started this journey in life that will only go by faster. Don't even talk to me about graduation. For now, like I tell my girls, let's just live in the today. We only get one 4 year old September and only one Two year old September, so let's not rush it. Let's enjoy this one!Dropping Rowyn off.

"Rowyn's Special Day" even Daddy took off work. He wouldn't have missed it for the world.

Proud sister.

She looks like she is going to be just fine.

I admit, I walked back to the car swiping my cheeks. Something about a mile stone that tugs at a mom's heart. I never REALLY knew that until now with my own. My vulnerable little tender heart roaming about the world outside of me. Man that is gut wrenching.

But this too was Reese's "special day". Daddy had taken the morning off and Mom and Daddy asked her what she wanted to do. "I jus want ice on da bottom, juice in da middle wiff fwosting on da top." (All said with her tiny little hand swirling in a circle.) So to Cutters Point we go for an italian soda.

I kept checking my watch as though time couldn't go by fast enough. When the time came to pick Ro up, even Uncle Frank got to come...that put an extra smile on Rowyn's face.

When the day was said and done, Rowyn had a great first day of school. Reese had some much needed time with mom and dad, and mom survived. But now I think I truly understand what older generations have said when they say it goes by so fast. I thought at one time that I knew...but I had no clue. I hope I have a better understanding of it now, or I am in a HEAP of trouble!
