I put Madeline in her bed each afternoon for her nap, but when she comes out of her room sometimes 2 hours later, her clean closet turns into this:
We were all very excited for Grace's first day of Kindergarten. She had already visited the school and met her teacher last week, so she wasn't nervous or scared at all. I thought I had prepared myself, but became overwhelmed with so many emotions and broke down before Sam and I could even get out of the parking lot. At home later eating lunch I was trying to be cheerful and told Madeline it was nice for it to be just the three of us. She said, "Well, I just like it better with Sissy here." We were all VERY excited to pick Grace up and hear about her fun day.
