Kaelei's FIRST day of kindergarten!

WOW. 

My baby... my sweet lil Kaelei Mae. 

She's a KINDERGARTNER!!!

 We had her orientation last night and met her teacher. Her teacher is actually one of her friend's Mom. Her friend Caleb from her 4k class, it's his Mom! She's so nice and I think she'll be a great fit for Kaelei. We took all of her school supplies and organized them like the teacher said to. She ate her Lucky Charms cereal that her teacher gave her in a little bag, it said, "I am so LUCKY to have you in my class!" So cute! Kaelei was really excited for school.

Today Kaelei had her eye therapy appointment. She did amazing, like always! She's such a great listener. We are working on different things that involve uncrossing her eyes and strengthening them. Then she came home, we ate dinner, read books, and then put the kids in bed. Kaelei kept coming out of her room, first she said she was a little nervous about going to school. 

Then she had a couple other excuses for getting up, and then when I was walking her back to her room she hugged my leg tight. I bent down and gave her a huge squeezy hug. I told her how she's getting to be such a big girl. She said she's sad she's going to school and she wants to stay home. I started crying... my baby! She's going to be gone the entire school day! My little helper, my extra set of eyes! She's truly a Mama's helper, and my lil baby is now in kindergarten, I just can't believe it.... just can't believe it...


So, up until this point I think Kaelei and I were both okay with school starting, and now it's the night before and we both are kind of freaking out, although mine started when she said she wanted to stay home. Melts my heart knowing that she wants to be home with me and her lil sis and bro. 


I MUST accept the fact that my baby is growing up, even though I don't want to. She'll always be my BABY.


I remember saying, "Ohh when she starts kindergarten.... blah blah blah" and now that day has come.


Kaelei, my shining star, my amazing babe. My beauty, my smarty, my everything. You mean the world to me! I love you to the moon and back, and to infinity and beyond! 


Love, 
Mama
