Yes that is how Hailey handled her first morning at school. While I was fighting back tears and Karis and Avery were dumping every single puzzle into the toy shopping cart Hailey was sitting at the table doing activities and rather confidently talking to a little girl. She looks up at me and says, "May you please leave now?" I said, "I think I am supposed to stay until the story is over." And she said, "Why?" So for the last week I have dreaded this moment, cried over this moment, stayed awake at night thinking about this it was actually rather anti-climatic. Hailey was in heaven. Loving all the activities, the kids, the teacher. I loved how confident she seemed. I could tell she was so ready for this. The rest of us are not though....Karis has been awful...whiny, crying, moping around. Avery has been throwing fits over little things. I have had a headache. I guess we just all need to adjust to not having her around during the day.
I just hope she is having so much fun and I can't wait to hear all about it. Scott is picking her up from school and then taking her to get a treat so I will have to wait until around 4 I imagine. That's a long time. I just keep thinking as she is in school all day that these are days and hours I will never get back. But that is part of growing up, they are supposed to do this, they are supposed to become independent of us, I just never realized how hard it would be. But as time goes on it will become our new normal and I think we will all adjust fine. Now what to do with Karis all afternoon while Hailey is gone? That's another blog entry......

Oh my goodness, so cute! It seems like just yesterday we were coming to visit you in Oregon, to meet our first niece! I am glad that she did so well.
So glad she did well. I love the outfit -especially the shoes!
What a cutie! She looks so little with that backpack on!
Its the year 2080? How are we all still alive?
Adorable pictures! It's an adjustment but you do get used to it. She'll probably love school so that makes it so much easier!!
Ahhh...I am glad she was so confident and ready! I was thinking about you today though and wondering how you were doing. :) Even though it's hard to be away from her when she gets home she can share her fun stories with you. Hopefully we can get together soon. Have a great week!
Were you really crying? Becky is going to throw a party. LOL
Ella is going to be really excited when Kindergarten comes, especially if she can go with her cousins.
