Bye Mom, See you soon!

Today, was Harlow's first day of Kids Day Out. We decided to sign her up at a really great place on my way to work to go twice a week and burn some energy and hopefully learn a thing or two. Last night, I was preparing all her stuff, labeling everything, overpacking extra snacks and food (just in case she was randomly starving, I guess) and I caught my self getting nervous. EEEKKKKK....How was this really happening?....her whole life flashed before me....it's going by WAY too fast. I am trying to soak it all up.
So this morning we got up and ready to go. At first she couldn't wait to put on her backpack....but that did not last long. It was too heavy and she wanted it off NOW!!! After telling daddy bye we went outside and took a couple of pics...which started out all cute.....and then she was over it! She made her usual "I'm MAD" face, sat down, and would not look at me!!!! What a princess. Once we got to school, I realized I was in for a treat carrying all the "first day of school" stuff for her. Somehow I managed, and I remember as we were getting closer to the door Harlow stopped and held out her hand for me to hold as we walked through the door.....my sweet big girl (that was the only time I teared up....I swear!). Once, we got into the class....she took off running, looking at all the toys and new things to play with. Of course, the teachers loved her and thought she was just the cutest!!! After unloading all her stuff and grabbing a couple more pics, I bent down and she gave me a kiss and said "Bye Mom! See ya soon!"......

Yup, that's it! No whining, no clinging to my leg, nothing! As much relief as I felt leaving the school without any tears or tantrums....I felt a little rumble in my tummy letting me know.....there is always #2!!! HAHAHAHAHA.......

Harlow had a great day today. She loved showing me all the toys and everything she did that day. She even took a good nap! So day one is complete and turned out better than I could have expected!
