First Day of Preschool

After three years at home, my little bird has flown the coop ... for approximately 3 1/2 hours on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Charlotte started preschool on Friday!
She was very excited to go and had been talking about it for weeks.
She excitedly pranced up the front walk toward the door.
Just look at that jaunty little step!
Then, the reality of how Mommy and Daddy were about to leave started to set in and she got a little nervous ...
She tried to be brave and hold it together, but ...
... she lost it just for a minute when we were leaving. Mommy was so glad to be reminded that Charlotte was still her baby even though she was going off to school. It made Mommy feel better when she started crying too after she walked out the door!
