FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!!!

So, Monday was Payton's first day of Preschool. Not that she needs to go education wise. I came to the conclusion that Payton needed some socialization when she tries to wrestle every little girl that she comes into contact with. I'm not quite sure where she gets this from, but it sure isn't making her a lot of female friends although the boys like to play wrestle with her.

Any whoo.... Monday was her first day. I admit I was a little worried that she might start crying and hold onto me whilst making a scene, so I tried to prepare her by encouraging her to be a big girl and not be shy and that she could do this.

So this is how it went.....Pull up to the school and I open the car door for her and hold out my hand to help her out of the truck. She says "No Mom, I'm a big girl and you don't need to hold my hand, I can do it". I smile thinking, ok, this might not be as hard as I think. She marches right past me says "Hi Teacher Lisa" to her teacher and walks straight into the classroom and starts talking to all the kids. I wave and say "Goodbye Payton, I Love You".
She doesn't even turn around, just keeps chatting away. I grudgingly walk back to the truck and pull away and start crying..... ok, so I sobbed like a little baby who got their candy taken away, so what, you just wait till your baby starts really growing up and tell me your heart doesn't get ripped out of your chest. It was so hard watching my little girl grow up and be so dang independent. Guess that pep talk should have been for me 'cause I sure felt like crying and holding onto her leg so she wouldn't leave me. Needless to say I spent the next two hours sitting on my couch in a stupor, not sure what to do with my free time without a shadow telling me what to do or how it should be done.



I love her so much and sure do miss when she is gone, although it is only 2 days a week. She has such a strong spirit and sure does fill any room she enters. Oh the trouble we will be in when boys get involved. I think I will start collecting guns now. Anyone with GPS equipment and spy gear can donate at anytime 'cause I'm sure I will be in need of all things soon. Don't bother with chastity belts because the girl can wiggle out of anything, but Electronic bracelets would be wonderful.
