Well....Abby was so excited this morning to start her day with donuts and getting to carry her new backpack full of new things! She honestly had no clue what was about to happen to her and that was the hardest part for me. She was laughing and thought it was great walking in with Madeline - in to the building where we have gone to play all summer . That's when she started seeing other children being dropped off at rooms and some were crying.
Then the panic set in.
I carried her to her room and then the teacher reached out for her. "NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" came this scream out of her mouth as she wrapped both arms tightly around my neck. The teacher was trying to pull her off and I was trying to get her claws off of my shirt and hair! As I walked off, I touched my head and a huge chunk of hair fell into my hands! Oh my. It was terrible, I am not going to lie. I just left, got in my car, and went to Target. I kept busy the whole 5 long hours, but we both survived. She didn't eat one thing and didn't sleep, BUT she managed to stay on her nap mat the whole rest time (according to her teacher). I am sure she was just too scared to move! Bless her. This is going to be so good for her (and for me) once we get used to it. I am sure next week with be worse since she will know where we are going, but we will get through this stage too!
Bo and I met at Baylor and were married on August 5, 2000. We had a baby girl on September 18, 2007. Three years later, the Lord blessed our family with a son. He was born on January 28, 2011. I feel so blessed and honored to be the mom of two beautiful children! I love my life!!

Oh girl - I made a mental note to check your blog today knowing that it would be Abby's first day. We'll be joining you on Tuesday. Don't know if I can truly enjoy my day knowing she's miserable, but it's gotta get better right?? :)
Oh Mando! Breakin my heart! Just remember it is GOOD for everyone! Chloe has gone to daycare 1x a week since about June and last week was the FIRST time she climbed out of my arms, walked away from me, turned around and waved bye-bye. It WILL happen...one day. I love you so!!! What day did you decide to come? I think the night of the 15th might work best...I leave the 17th and probably need to be with my fam the last night.xoxo
I like the donut tradition...we may have to start that around here. That's so sweet that she stayed on her little mat even though she didn't sleep. Keep the hair! Yikes..glad ya'll both survived.
sweet abby!! she and my boys are perfect for each other. I wish they were in MDO together so I had someone to laugh with. so glad both of you survived!! good luck next week!!
LOVE that picture of the two of you! A new profile pic perhaps? ;-) What a big day! She was probably just sparing your feelings and after you left let out a big, "Whew!" And partied like a rockstar.
Oh goodness! Sweet girl. At least she looked cute for her first day. :) Prayers for a GREAT week next week.
