Sigh. The emotions continue

I'm feeling so overly emotional today. Intensely grateful, and so over-the-top in love with my kiddos. Maybe it's the fact that Maya is turning two on Monday and that she's moving to the two-year old class at school. Maybe it's that she is growing up and I just love watching her learn new things and understand the world better. Maybe it's that I'm going back to work on Tuesday. Whatever it is, I look at my kids and my jaw just drops to the floor. I never could have anticipated having these kinds of feelings before; they're just so unique to this experience. It's kind of life falling in love or getting married. Amazing. Joyful, wonderful, over-the-top. I feel so lucky.

Since I go back to work on Tuesday, I went to go pick up Maya from school today. On Fridays she has "Gymnastics on a bus", which is to-die-for-cute.


I just park in the parking lot and hope she doesn't spot me. Last week she did, but today I hid beneath the radar.


As they walked back to their respective classrooms, each kid held onto a circle-rope, which keeps them in line. School is SO good for these kids; I am so happy Maya goes.

I picked Maya up from Miss Shannon's room, and Shannon told me that Monday is Maya's official first day in the 2-year old room. Sigh! So exciting and sad/scary at the same time. In Miss Shannon's room there were only about 5 kids max. In the 2 year old room there are WAY more. We don't get reports on what they did every day. That makes me so sad! I love Maya's reports. I can't send her with a hot lunch as everything has to be kept outside at room temp. Maya is also going to get less attention. I know this is normal and she'll be fine but I can't help but be worried for my baby girl. Miss Shannon is so sweet and I'm sad we won't be with her anymore.

On the way home Maya and I went to yogurt-land for some quality mama-baby time. Maya LOVES yogurt-land... it is too cute. "More yogurt, more yogurt" over and over.


So what can I say? I have two beautiful, amazing kiddos. Ethan is just starting out, but to imagine that in two years he will be where Maya is today is just incredible. I can't wait to watch his little soul grow too.
