2.5 hours of being child-free
Today was Samar’s first day at preschool ALL BY HIMSELF. I am not the crying sort, , but I admit this morning, I was just a teeny weeny sad. I have been preparing him by going down the list of food he can and cannot eat. This was heartbreaking. I will ask him something and he says [...]
