Sometimes life gets so busy that I forget to notice and appreciate the little things. Here are some of the things I don’t want to forget about our first day of PreK:
I WANT TO REMEMBER… waking up to M’s face by my bedside saying, “Oh Mamma! Today is school! I’m so excited!”
I WANT TO REMEMBER… my high hopes for a special “First Day” breakfast. I even bought new plates and cups from Target! But my bacon didn’t come out right and one child requested an omelette after I had made a big batch of scrambled eggs. Lesson learned: life isn’t picture perfect, so just roll with it.
I WANT TO REMEMBER… having my three boys cuddled around me on the couch as we read How to Make an Apple Pie and See the World
.
. 
I WANT TO REMEMBER… our first project: making a HUGE apple tree on the kitchen wall. M kept saying, “This is so much fun. This is so cool. I can’t wait until Daddy sees this.”
I WANT TO REMEMBER… what an awesome privilege it is to teach my babies at home. Life and circumstances change every year, so this may not last forever. But for now, I am confident this is right choice for us. I am so, so blessed.
