Tomorrow is D day

Ok so i am siting here this morning reflecting on some things. Mostly how my BIG girl Aaliyah will be starting prep TOMORROW. Oh my god where have all the years gone, i mean prep, holy shit!!! I am feeling very emotional about the whole thing. I have spent the last 5 years with my little baby, watching her grow, teaching her and nurturing her into the beautiful little soul that she is today and she is leaving me to go off into the big wide world. I am so excited and scared for her at the same time.

Is she going to make friends?? Are the other kids going to like her? What if she has a panic attack and needs mummy cuddles?? What if she doesn't like her teacher?? What if she gets picked on?? (I will have to go up there and whoop some little 5 year old ass if they pick on my baby) Anyway all these things are running through my head but in the mean time Aaliyah is super excited to start tomorrow. I asked her if she was going to cry tomorrow and she was like 'No way mum, it will be so much fun'. Boohoo i feel unwanted!!! She is excited to get in her new uniform, excited to wear her new dorky hat, excited to wear her new shoes, excited to use her new lunch box and bag. I just hope that she really loves it and settles in ok. Fingers crossed!!!

So not only is my Aaliyah off to big school but my Jodeci is also off to a new Kindy. Now my Jj is pretty thick skinned. She don't take no crap from no one and pretty much tells it how it is (mmm sounds like me) but she will still be in a new environment, with new teachers and new friends. I have all the same concerns for my Jj and even more so because i won't be dropping her off in the morning. I will be doing the drop off with Aaliyah and Scotty will be doing the drop off for Jj. I have been asked to stay for a little while after i drop off Aaliyah because if she does not settle in to well they ask you to take her home. How shame!! So this means that i will not be able to go and hide and cry in my car in peace, i will have to do it with all the other parents watching. Oh lordy!!! (Note to self - Pack tissues in handbag) Now im sure i will be giving poor Scotty the list of a thousand things to do or say with Jj to settle her in. I am also upset that that i will not be able to take her for her first day. I am the only one who understands her and she will need me (so i keep telling myself)

So the girls have both given me a list of things that they would like in their lunch boxes, yeh that's right now i have to pack lunches every day, not looking forward to that. We were very spoilt with the daycare they went to having a cook so that was one thing we didn't have to worry about, packing food!!! Now i haven't forgotten about my boy, he starts back at daycare on Tuesday. Same place different teachers but he will be just fine. They love him so much at Daycare, lucky us!!!

So i will definately be posting pics up here tomorrow. Keep an eye out for them!!!
