Too fast...

My babies are growing up too fast!

Today was Reagan's 2nd day of K3! She is such a big girl! Her first day was last Friday and she jus LOVED it! And I was so proud of myself for not doing the embarassing cry in front of an entire classroom of three-year-olds and their parents! Of course, I cried the night before, though, and then as soon as I made it back to the suburban after dropping her off! boo hoo!

She didn't even want us to walk her to her room the first day. She told us the night before that she wanted to be dropped off in the rider line like all of the other kids! But *we* ...yes, Andrew, too...weren't quite ready for that! haha!

So, today, though, I let her be a "big girl" and I let her out in the rider line and she walked with one of the teachers to her classroom (which, by the way, is all of two feet from the door where I drop her off)!

So, the whole time she's in school now, I'm missing her and wondering what she's doing. But as much as I miss her, it also gives me the opportunity to spend some alone time with Mallory...which is something we've never really had! It's hard to focus on all of the litle things that she does when I've got a hyper three-year-old running around me all the time.

I realized just how much I've missed (even though I've been here for it all) when I was sitting down at my computer today designing birthday invitations for Mallory's 1st bday! I was looking through all of my pictures on my computer and realized that I have soooo many of Reagan during her first year. Every little thing she did was captured on my camera! And I just haven't had the time to do that with Mallory! I know that most of y'all are probably thinking I never put my camera down because I always seem to have it with me...but for the most part, when I'm at home, I don't have time to snap pictures 24/7...I'm way too busy chasing kids around.

Of course, now that I've got a little alone time with Mallory each day, I'll be doing my best to remedy the problem! But sometimes, I wish I could just freeze time and they'd stay little forever! I know everyone says that...but seriously...Mallory is at the cutest stage right now. She's learned to wave...so she does it constantly now...and she gives kisses now...which is the absolute best! Soon, they'll both be "too cool" to give their mommy kisses! That'll just break my heart! Now I know how my parents must've felt! Makes me wanna go give them hugs and kisses right now!
