Wow. I remember I used to say, “Oh, she’s got two more years before Kindergarten!” It was eons away. Now, here it is. It feels like she’s leaving for college. I am so used to having my little bumby around me most of the day, so now I must get used to getting her to school by 8 and picking her up around 3. It’s time to MAXIMIZE our time together. Man….it’s so hard for some reason. It’s a good thing that I not only LOVE my kid but that I LIKE her to bits.
She had her clothes laid out two days ago! (She usually reads in her chair to relax)
We went shopping for her first day outfit. She even tried it on so she’d be completely prepared.
We woke up early (I did my devotions), and she then jumped out of bed, and got dressed.
We prayed this morning for:
A smooth morning for Mrs. Holman.
For new friends and for Tatum to be an encourager, servant, and lover of people
For Mommy to find joy in this new season
She’s ready to go have breakfast!
I had her lunch all made last night, and oh was it fun to tuck in some little surprises plus a love note. These Yumboxes
make it so easy!
We got to school, and I went into drop her off with Mrs. Holman.
Tatum was so excited.
I, of course, needed a bit more power from HIM to withstand this. I am so happy for her, but geez….it’s hard!
So, they had a coffee/get together for parents in the gymnasium. I met some more new moms, connected with ones I knew, and got boosted up with love.
I’m so very grateful for this school, Paradise Valley Christian Prep. There’s so much love, nurturing, and joy in this place.
I think we are going to make it. Ephesians 6 all day (putting on HIS armor) and Psalm 23 to know we have our Shepherd present to comfort us.
I love you Tatum Tot. You are covered in love and His protection. Amen!
