I was FORBIDDEN to walk my kids to their first day of school today because I would make them too sad and it would be “UNBEARABLE” mummy if you come… LOL. I mean I don’t get it.. just because I was bawling my HEAD off.. does that mean that I would make it “UNBEARABLE?”.. So my baby is now in Grade one.. and my eldest is in grade 4… I know it is SO boring for people to read these personal posts.. but let’s pretend it’s my “text” journal today.. rather than my art journal..
Here are the kidlets… Tyler was kinda sad so I had to tell them to say a “swear word” in front of the camera so they would laugh… it worked!
just remembah sistahs.. one is NEVAH too old for HELLO KITTY 🙂
the walk to school.. including Frankie lol
thank you for letting me share my little sniffing episode
mwah to da sistahs who can CONTROL their SNIFFS
Em
As a soon to be mom, your morning post made me smile & just about led to tears at the same time. Even after a fitfull sleep because my unborn child decided to start it’s first very obvious round of kicks last night. Ok now I think I’m crying. Lol, thanks Emily for the lovely post!
awww Jessica.. there are SO many emotions that stir through you when you become a mommy. Enjoy every moment of motherhood.. there will be lots of tears and laughter.
mwah mwah mwah!!
I dread & look forward to all the wonderful 1st including the 1st day of school even though I’ll probably bawl my head off too.
Awww…I am right there with you. My baby started 7th grade today! My baby!!!!! How beautiful are those kids- seriously! Not sure if it is kinda cool there like it is here today but I am so going to have hot cocoa ready for them when they get home. Sniff Sniff…the house is so quiet.
And HELLO KITTY WILL ALWAYS ROCK!!!
you are so right about hello kitty….check out the hello kitty WEDDING SHOWER card I made. The entire shower was hello kitty.
Mine is going into grade 10 and he doesn’t want me to walk him either….

Wanna puke just a little? My son starts COLLEGE today. GULP. And my “baby”? She’s a junior in high school. It just flies by, my friend. And I still can’t control my sniffles. 😉
xoxo
Best of luck to the kidlets! And to you!
I dropped my “little” girl off at college on Sunday and near ottawa and cried most of the way home…..yesterday wasnt good either….I can totally relate!!
having spent the past 2 weeks glued to c day and night i hate the quiet in my house right now… my guy barely looked at me twice before he raced into school with his friends. weasel!
you know how lucy cries in i love lucy with the big ugly open mouth cry that’s me in my heart. on the outside i am smiling.
Hey me too Em, I was not allowed to take them to the bus stop. It was already emotional at home and well my daughter is now getting to old for mommy and daddy kisses when being dropped off in front of school. It’s going to be a very quiet day today. Ohh and you are absolutely correct, you can never be too old for hello kitty. Tyler and Jayden look so cute !!!! sending them lots of kisses !!
You put them to bed early because they’re starting kindergarten in the morning . . . and they wake up graduating from university . . . no, really, it’s true!
Even harder was Joshie’s bubby (bubbysitting her baby every day) having to let him go when he started daycare . . . Sniff, sniff, indeed!
Hi Em, wow, your daughter looks just like you! My three had their first day too here in Abu Dhabi, but I have to tell you, after a week of crazy jetlag and grumpiness, I was glad to see them go!
I soooo hear you! my little is in first grade too! she seemed un-fazed- how come I didn’t feel that way?
xoxo!!!!

My “24 year old baby” is officially moving to Florida. Can you hear this mom crying all the way from Texas???? Great pictures Em….they are growing way too fast!
Ok, confession time…its ok to be sniffly, or even bawl(ly….is that even a word)? My son is now 20 years old and even NOW I can still remember his first day at school…so you can imagine what a sniffling, bawling fool I was!!! And the worst, u never forget that first day at school. He just started his 2nd year in college and I still want to walk(drive)him to school…but I dont think that’s something he’ll wanna post on his Facebook page, so I stayed home…waaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!
I just took my son to his very first day of school and I could not believe how hard it was on ME. He just turned and walked off and started playing but I just barely made it to my car before I started SOBBING!!! It’s crazy how hard it is to let them go! I thought it would just be this first time but now I’m realizing from all of you guys that it’s going to be the same every year??? Oh great!
Awww, so cute! (I agree, Hello Kitty rocks!)
My “babies” are now in 5th and 8th grade…I have no idea where the time went?!
I feel your pain!!
They’re so cute, Em! They both have such great smiles!
it doesn’t get any easier even when they are older, we had to say goodbye to my youngest (17) before he passed through airport security for his plane to China. We won’t see him for 2 years and since his best friends came to the airport to see him off, I held off the waterworks until we got home.
