Gretchen made cute party favors for the girls! <\/p>\n

In the morning, I drop my first baby off for kindergarten. I always thought crying was silly about the start of school and that it would be no big deal. I guess I was warned that it was a big step, but I didn\u2019t take that warning very seriously. Tonight, with my heart in my throat and tears pouring down my cheeks, I totally get what all the fuss is about. My side-kick for the past 5 years is not going to be with me during the day anymore. I already miss her so much just thinking about it. <\/p>\n

She\u2019s going to do great!  She\u2019s so excited and will have a blast!!! The separation anxiety on the Mommy side of things is the part that totally took me by surprise. When I was tucking Noelle in tonight, she said, \u201cMom, I\u2019m sorry I won\u2019t be here to help you anymore. I hope you\u2019ll be okay!\u201d I teared up and said, \u201cMe too, girl!\u201d Pray for us in the morning and throughout the day\u2026 what an emotional transition this has turned out to be!  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
