First day of school

*Sigh* Meghan started her second year of preschool today.  While she was gone, I sat around watching home videos from when she was a baby, blubbering and wondering how she got so big so fast.

Not really.  But if I would have had the time to do that, I definitely would have cried while watching them.  I still call her Baby, after which she always reminds me that she’s a big girl, not a baby.  I can’t help it; I’m just not ready for her to be the big girl she is.

This isn’t going to get any easier, is it?

Last year I started the tradition of letting her choose a special breakfast for her first day of school.  When I asked her this year what she’d like for her first-day-of-school breakfast, she said cookies.  Cookies for breakfast?  Sure.  Why not?  So cookies she got.

 This morning she said she also wanted a smoothie, so along with two pumpkin breakfast cookies she also had a strawberry-banana-peanut butter smoothie (almond milk+1/2 banana+a few strawberries+peanut butter+ice).

Somebody else wanted a breakfast cookie, too.  Not quite yet, buddy.

I know it looks like he is ready to snatch those vitamins, but I promise you I was right there.  He wasn’t going to get those chubby little fingers on anything.

Fueled by her special breakfast, Meghan had a great first day.  She loves school and was ready to go back.  Probably more ready than I was to let her go.

There is one teeny perk that I’m looking forward to.  If Luke cooperates and naps well, I should have 1-2 hours of “free time” while Meghan’s at school.  It’s been a long time since I’ve had that, so I might just get to spend a little more time on the blog.  If I start getting more posts up, you’ll know Luke is napping well.

I have a recipe I hope to share tomorrow, so see you then!
