Big Trouble

I am in big, big trouble. School starts next week**. Apart from my own emotional/crazy/I can't send my baby to kindergarten/what will I do without her/I will miss her sooo much feelings, Joshua has developed some of his own. Audrey went to a birthday party on Tuesday then to a friend's house to play. Joshua wouldn't nap. He spent two hours laying in his bed yelling, "I wann my sisder!" And then, "Daddy home? Daddy home?" Back to, "I wann my sisder!!!" When Audrey did come home, Joshua ran to the door and they hugged. Just about melted my heart. And then Audrey said, "I sure love this little man." That did melt my heart.

Yesterday I took Joshua to a Dr apt and Audrey went to play at a friend's. All the way to the Doctor's Joshua cried, "I wann my Audey!"

I have so many feelings about sending my daughter to school. Most of these feelings are dreadful, but I am so excited for her because she is so excited. Tomorrow we get to meet her teacher.

**All the other kids start school on Monday. Except Audrey. We are getting on a plane and going on vacation with my family (sans Dave...his school isn't as nice as Audrey's). Audrey is missing her first week of kindergarten. What kind of mother am I? Well, I am one who thinks family vacations are really important. I learned that my parents. So Audrey, Joshua and I will have one more week together before Joshua and I go crazy missing her. We have made such a good little team, the three of us. Joshua and I were so very lucky to spend our days with her. We will miss you Audrey, more than you will ever know.
