Callie's First Day of School

We did it! She's at school right now! Callie popped up this morning at 6:30 and quickly woke up Alyssa too so we wouldn't be late! She got ready really fast and had to wait while Mom made lunch and got ready. David stayed home to help out and see Callie off to school too. We were out the door at 8:00 and had plenty of time to spare when we got to school. Callie was so excited. I didn't cry ( I was just excited for her), but poor Alyssa cried the whole way home. She wants to be able to go to kindergarten and she misses Callie. I had to hold her on my lap for a bit while she just cried and cried, and that nearly brought me to tears. But she's doing much better now and so am I.

Update: It's now been two weeks and Callie is doing great. Alyssa started her Joy School (parent swap) preschool and is happy to have her own thing to be doing. We still miss Callie, but she seems to be doing well. She has the very good fortune (blessing, really) of having a very good friend in her class. She is very eager to please and to do well. In fact, I was telling her a bedtime story of how Optimus Prime was holding transformer school and Bumblebee and Ratchet painted another transformer the wrong color. In mid-story Callie plugged her ears and looked very stressed, and I had to come up with a quick remedy so they wouldn't get in trouble! Not a very good bedtime story I guess. Anyway, the point is she is doing great.
