JK's pensive preschool experience

Jada's first day of preschool ever was on Tuesday (and yes, i'm just now blogging it).  She has been beside herself with excitement.  She picked her outfit and shoes and bead color...the whole deal!  And, she was soooo stinking cute, I could just have eaten her up.






























We head to preschool drop off...we sit down and she gets very concerned.  Not about being left alone or being away from Mommy or her teacher.













The concern:  the blue partition wall at the front of the room.  I guess we all have our own fears.  I assure her that she won't have to go near the wall...and her teacher will not have that blue wall in her room.  Honestly, she didn't fall for it.  










She saw her teacher and said, "Mommy, can I go now?"

"Yes, honey.  You can."

She runs...not a gallop or a trot, a full scale run...to the teacher screaming, "Bye Mommy".

So, when it was all over and I picked her up, she was beaming, as expected.  Even better, her note from the teacher said, "She was very talkative."

Shocking.  



















So, this is to many more years of (talkative) school days!  One more to go...and I'm not sure I will be ready for that.

She's such a cutie and I love her dress. She did a great job picking out her outfit and shoes! Love the tidbit about being concerned with the partition. She'll look back and laugh at that one day.

Glad to hear the first day went well. It is all so bitter sweet. I just want to know when do the knots in the Mom's stomach ever stop?

In the first week of 1st grade, my teacher gave me the nickname "jibber jabber". lol

she is precious! Just be glad she wasn't screaming and clinging to your leg like my middle child did. And yes, i felt like a horrible mom when I left!
I love that first picture, what a winning smile she has! I'm glad her day went well.

Wow, she looks like she had a great day. My 2 older children loved school. My 5 year old doesnt! He was a k-4 dropout (do to asthma). He doesnt like k-5 now either. I have the same letters sent home to me about talking. Jada looks like a social butterfly! I am excited from her and you!

random acts...GNO

over at GNO, there's a few of us who decided to challenge ourselves last week to perform a random act of kindness.   i talked with my girls and hubs about what we could do... we reserve some funds each month out of our giving to put towards a current or urgent need that we find.  i think it's important to let the kids see how we give as family...and they should be part of that decision too . as we were talking, and eating chinese...come on, you know there would be eating...i open my fortune cookie.  and this is it!! i was out getting a few minutes of alone time and decided to pay hubs forward by getting jiffy lube to do the oil change.  while i was there, i remembered how hard it was being a single mom.  i remembered that the little things, like oil changes, suddenly became bigger things and honestly, more expensive things.  *light bulb!!!* thomas rang me up for my oil change and asked if they had any scheduled appointments that i could pay for.  he looked at me a little odd...

sadness

on the way home from DD {{bc apparently there was NO preschool today for jk...it's no prob, really...we just rushed around and scrambled and got in the car and then when we got there and there was no school...well, there were tears...thus DD}} , there came a moment of sincere sadness in my heart. jk: " mommy, i want to look like brookie" "why sweetie? you are the perfect jada" jk: "i don't like my brown skin. i want peach skin like brookie" i just sank. does that not make ur heart want to break? a 3 yo is struggling already with her skin being different. then, this happened: brooke: "jada, god made you and he loves you. he does it all right the very first time" then, i think my heart grew three sizes . jada threw a big smile up on her face and said, "ok. god loves me" now, if we all could just do that. god loves us...he doesn't make mistakes...he makes perfect works of art. sometimes there are scratches in the art.

tuesday tribute---for tuesday

go blog yourself has been on my reading list for quite sometime...and so i really came to love little tuesday whitt and her whole sweet fam and became involved in praying for them in tuesday's battle with that stinky neuroblastoma . tuesday's parents are totally amazing...they inspire me! although tuesday went to play with jesus not so long ago, there have been so many people that are changed because of the courage and strength and honesty of the whitt family. on the day of celebration of tuesday's life, a number of folks who couldn't make it out to the funeral, took their kids on a 'wagie ride', which was one of tuesday's fav things. we all posted up our pics...shared our experiences with each other...and hugged our kiddos a little tighter. my kiddos wagie ride is here . from that precious little tuesday and her honorary wagie ride, a blog spawned...of course...and it is dedicated to nothing more than, in their words, "to keep track of lives touc
