Anyway, today was Mia's 1st day. I don't know what I was worried about, I knew she would do fine. But, would you send your 10 month old off to Mother's Day out? That's what I feel like, I sent my baby off so early in our relationship. Even though yesterday she turned 20 months old, we just got her! It feels like I shouldn't be sending her off so soon. I felt guilty and a little teary eyed when I left her. Only normal right?
I never cry over my kids going off to school (I am usually grateful for the time alone!), but today I thought back to the day I sent Max off - how overprotective I was of my then baby...sending him off to have fun for a day (and worrying the whole time how he was doing). Then I drove through Tim Horton's right down the way for coffee..the same Tim Horton's I always visited 5 years ago. I shopped in my old stomping grounds of Hilliard, and drove past our old house where my first two kids came home. Yes, today I was reminiscent of the past, but thankful for where the last 5 years have taken us.
I picked the girls up, and Mia came running to me with a big smile on her face! She wanted to show me all the toys and books she had played with for the day. Miss Jennifer said she was one of the few who didn't cry, and she ate all her lunch. They all think she's so adorable! (especially since she insists on wearing the backpack that is too big for her, and carrying her lunch!)
So, I thought I would share a few pictures from today...but a few from the past. I think it is fun to see where my kids were on their 1st Mother's Day Out. Just so happens Max and Megan have grown too fast. I'm sure Mia will to. Until then I will enjoy from now on my one day a week alone (for 3 hours anyway!).
Max (2 years) in Ohio
Megan (23 months) in Texas
Mia (20 months) in Ohio
Love the Backpacks! And sisterly fun!

How adorable! Mia looks so happy to be heading off to "school"!
TOO CUTE...I got teary just reading it. Mia looks so proud of her gear. Claire kisses to our fellow Fu!
Oh! I can remember Megan at that age! You have such beautiful children. Mia is just so well adjusted- I can only imagine all the babbling she did telling you about her day today. And to think your son is now well into elementary school. YIKES! They are growing up too fast!
Okay, your children are gorgeous! I especially like Megan's picture. She was so little! LOVE Mia's backpack...she's cracking me up wearing her pack and carrying her lunch. So cute!
They are all so cute!
