Broke My Mama Heart

By Courtney 14 Comments

Well, my little guy totally broke my mama heart yesterday. It was our first day of preschool that included drop off, and just as I suspected, it did not start well.

He was allll excited leading up to going, and told Lucas all about it as we were waiting for the bus to arrive.

But as we got there and he realized I wasn’t actually staying, I could see it on his face. The tears started slow, and they escalated. To the point that his teacher had to hold him back from running after me out the door, and geezus, that. was. the. WORST.

Making matters worse, I promised him in his fit of crying that I’d leave work and come at pick up time and meet my mother-in-law (who will be picking him up most days) so he could see me.

ROOKIE MISTAKE.

Because even though he was muuuuch happier by the time I picked him up (and his teacher said he took a few minutes to calm down, but eventually had a great time – WIN!), that meant that I, once again, had to leave him.

Cue the tears all over again. Maybe even a little more intense this time.

Ughh. Definitely not the easiest of days! I joked that I’ve been spoiled with Lucas because we’ve never really had to deal with the intense, emotional drop offs to daycare/preschool/school…I have a hard enough time with “firsts” as it is! So I’m just going to keep my fingers crossed that every day from here on out gets just a little bit easier.

Other than the doom and gloom of preschool drop off, things over here have been good though! We started soccer over the weekend, and both boys had a great time at their games.

We also had a little carnival happening near us, so we hit that up for a little while on Sunday to let the boys check out the rides.

These fresh cut fries…. <3 <3 <3

Oh, and I’m also thinking I need to update my hair! This is what it’s currently looking like these days…

And here’s what I’m thinking I want to switch it up with…

I always hesitate to chop it off, but I really liked it the length of it like this from a few years ago! We shall see what happens!

FYI: I’ve been trying to put together a list of some blog posts coming up in the next couple of weeks, but if there’s anything in particular you guys are interested in hearing about, leave a comment below! <3

    Poor Alex! Claire was the same way for the first week, it was rough! Then, the second week she just kissed me and said "love you, bye". Your hair is beautiful either way, so go for it!

    Poor Alex! I recently had to put my 2 year old in daycare on base and the first few weeks he was just like that. The teacher had to hold him so I could leave but the second I left he would be ok. It does get easier!! As for posts, I always love your Day in the Life, recipes and any home renovations/projects you do. Glad to have you back btw :)

    Some fall fashion finds please!!! I love that you shop at places like Old Navy, Target, TJMaxx, etc...much more in line with where I shop than a lot of bloggers out there! And we have a similar style so I always enjoy seeing how you put things together :)

    Poor little guy, that's a big transition for everyone! You've always been very honest and genuine about how challenging parenting can be and with my two boys each two years younger than yours, I like to go back and read your posts from when yours were their age (if that makes sense at all!?) so I would love to hear how you feel overall now that you have two school aged kids as opposed to a baby and a toddler (please tell me it gets easier!) :)
