You know when your children are ready to go to school. They are sick and tired of you suggesting coloring, play-doh, cleaning,watching a movie or any other activity whatsoever. They are sick and tired of their siblings. They are sick and tired of anything you ask they to help you with. They are sick and tired of you. Well, we have been looking forward to school for a long, long time, yet I can't believe it is actually here. My babies, in school? Not possible! They are still newborns. They haven't learned to walk or talk yet. They still look up at me with adoring eyes and drool dribbling down their chins. It's just not possible! How is it that overnight they have grown up enough to go to Pre-School? But, like I said, they were ready. They marched in to Kiddie Korner Pre-School like they owned the joint. They hung up their backpacks, put on their name tags and officially gave Kell and I the cold shoulder. Wait a second, I gave birth to you and now you act like you don't even know me?! It dosen't work that way! Where are the tears and the clinging to my leg and using my body as a shield to hide from the other kids? I guess another sign of them being ready for school...when they don't even look over their shoulder at you, but make a mad dash to the toys and other children. When I went back after the 2 hour class they were less that pleased that I was there and wanted to stay. I asked them their favorite part of pre-school and they told me "Watching Dora the Explorer." Um, you can watch that at home for free, so pick another subject please! They are so excited to go back on Friday, and Ellie told me that if any of their classmates are sad or missing their parents that she was going to be their friend. I am so proud of the little people they are morphing into. They are my muffins, my whole life, my peaches. My big girls.
