The alarm clock rang this morning reminding me that school is starting and a schedule must be followed. I was actually awake already feeding the baby. I just can't believe this day has come so fast. Ashley has been excited and brave through all the preparation, so I haven't been worried about her adjustment at all. After breakfast, we had picture time, loaded up the car and off we go. At the school, Jacob looked at me and said, "I'm not ready to go back to school" but he got out of the car to wait on Ashley. For the first time, Ashley sat in her seat and said, "I am so scared" We talked a little bit and then she was able to get out of the car. Jacob walked her into the school. I have felt confident about Ashley going to school, comfortable with her teacher, the school, and all the preparations, but at that moment I could have cried my heart out. It was comforting to see Jacob and Ashley walking in to school together. After coming home, Rachel started her crying routine, but this time she was howling for Ashley. She is going to have a big adjustment I am afraid. After taking care of the baby. I got her distracted by working in the kitchen with me. She is a wonderful helper and I am going to enjoy spending time with her.
