The Last Day

The day has finally come where me and Maddy say goodbye to her daycare. It will feel so weird to walk out of those doors knowing we will not be back. Maddy has shown mixed emotions over no more school. When I first told her about staying home for school, she was beyond excited. Every day she would ask me how much longer. When I decided to go ahead and bump up her last day I started talking about staying home for school all over again, but she wasn't as excited about it as she was before. I will admit I panicked yesterday thinking I made a huge mistake in pulling her out of daycare and began to pray. Yesterday was an all around bad day and I think the devil was trying to get to me. I feel so much better today and KNOW this is what God wants for us. I asked her yesterday if she wanted to stay home today or go to school and take dance one last time. Surprisingly she opted for school...she NEVER opts for school. It's funny because the three years she has gone to daycare she has always been so clingy and refused to let go. Most days she has been pried off me with a huge frown on her face once they finally got her to let go of me. This week, however...her last week, has been completely different. They have a new teacher in there that actually reminds me of me. She is super sweet and Maddy absolutely loves her. This week Maddy has washed her hands and told me she wanted to go to the table this teacher was at. The teacher would welcome her on in and get her started on their art project and Maddy would instantly let go of me and go to the teacher. Talk about a shocked mom lol. Today she didn't want to let go, but I think she was having fun with the teacher lol. I decided to bring my phone in with us this morning to snap some last pictures of her school. They turned out blurry because Maddy was bouncing all over the place. Oh! This morning I told her today was her last day and she was super excited and said, "And then I get to stay home forever, and ever, and ever!!!"

I can NOT get my pictures to go to my photo stream from my phone. The whole point of this post was to share the pictures I took of her on her last day. As soon as my technology wants to cooperate with me, I will post them :)

Her official last day of daycare was Friday, November 8. She keeps talking about when she sees her friends again, so I know she does not understand still. She seemed to have a GREAT last day. Her first week of homeschool will be Thanksgiving themed and I do plan on posting throughout our week. Home school has definitely taken over my blog. I would appreciate prayers that this transition will be smooth for Maddy. I hope you all have a great weekend!
