Lessons for school (and life)

Audrey starts preschool on Tuesday, and I am starting to freak out a bit. My baby, my firstborn, my little girl is leaving me. Granted it is only two days a week, but it is ALL DAY for two days a week (9:00-2:30) and she has never been away from me that long. I have already cried about it numerous times, and I have emailed friends asking how they have dealt with it. My friend Mindi said, "Wait until the first day of school when you send her and you start to cry just hoping she can open her juice box by herself." Of course I couldn't let one more thing make me cry, so we had lessons. These are school lessons, and life lessons. Learning how to open ones juice box is very important.
Lesson one: open juice box, solo.

Check.

Then because I am paranoid, we had lessons on how to open her apple sauce as well.

Check.

Two less things I have to cry about on Tuesday, only about 1, 983, 395 more.
