Such an exciting time and really a big milestone when a first (and second and third) child goes “out in the world”

to Kindergarten. I was surprised and felt quite old when I was told that Kindergarten is no longer a half day! What?! When did that happen? It will be an adjustment for all whether it’s a half day or a full day but I am confident all will go well. Remember to take those “1st day of school” pics! Starting at Kindergarten and going all the way to High School. Such a treasure to have - even if they are in a box I still have yet to find! 😝

I love the focus on P’s! And sending you hugs, I’ve found we focus a lot on transitions with kids but we’re humans too and even though we know it’s normal, transitions aren’t easy. Love the picture books you’ve showcased too!

Transitions are never easy!! Frozen peas are the easiest. It’s all about balance 😜

Starting kindergarten is 100% a big deal. My children and I spent five days a week apart for 8+ hours a day since they were each three months old, and it was still a big deal. It's okay to feel all the things you're feeling.

Totally! I didn’t mean to make it a SAHM vs working parent thing and probably should have been more deliberate in my word choices. Kindergarten is a big deal for everyone!! And we mostly all get thru it, which I think was my intended point. And it’s also so privileged of me to complain about public free education. Sooooo. All the things!!

Oh, I didn't take it that way at all -- that was just my way of saying, even if you're used to being apart from your kids and vice versa, starting K is one of those deeply bittersweet transitions, and you're not alone.

My kid likes frozen peas on her ice cream and yogurt? Weird, but I’ll take it as a win!
