Pea starts preschool on Wed. As in two days from today. I can’t believe how quickly two years can go by. It seems like just yesterday when I was claiming to have no interest in sending her off to school, I would just miss her too much. Sob. How quickly that all changed! Guiltily, I am looking forward to the three-hour break three days a week. Is that so wrong?

Here she is, practicing with her new backpack, which the school requires her to carry.

It’s from Four Peas and has her name embroidered on it and every time she walks out of her bedroom with it on, I can’t help but tear up a little bit. She’s closer to being a big girl now than she is to being a baby. It just goes by so quickly, doesn’t it?
