The first day of school--ever

Zoey has started at Nora Sterry Elementary School's pre-K program.  She goes to class 5 days a week from 8am to 10:35pm  I was very, very sad to realize school was starting so soon (August 12th!) and it was much harder emotionally than I thought it would be.  I didn't think I'd be one of those parents.  But it was bitter sweet having her start school.  Bitter because I feel like our opportunity to go do fun things has been curtailed because of school time, Paige's nap, and late afternoon LA traffic.  I also didn't like the idea of Zoey being gone every day.  The sweet part is how much she likes it.  She was ready to start and has been doing a fairly good job of doing her 5 things she has to do every morning before we read scriptures, pray and leave for school. Those are:
1. eat breakfast
2. get dressed
3. make her bed
4. brush teeth
5. do hair (I help)
