Back to School Supplies

I finished the girls back to school shopping today. All the supplies are bought, labeled and ready to be taken to school tomorrow for open house. I can't believe that they start school next week. We are meeting Lexi's teacher for the first time, but we know Laney's teacher already. She is a friend of ours and we go to church together.

I am not worried about Laney at all, but I am so worried about Lexi. She is my baby and such a little mommy's girl. She doesn't like to be away from me for long periods of time. For the last 2 1/2 years she has been down the hall from me at work. Now, I have to prepare myself for her going to her "big school" and me going to work without her. It's going to be so hard to not see her all day. It's going to be hard not to get my hug when I am having a rough day. I am not going to be able to hug and kiss on her when she gets hurt like I have in the past. I know that this is just another milestone that she is hitting, but I am not sure that I am ready for it. She is my baby, the last of my children and I want to hang on to her being little just a little while longer. I'm not quite ready to give up our Friday's together, but I have to. I am sure after the first couple of days she will be fine, but I think it may take me a little longer.
