On the first day of preschool

London has always been too smart for her own good.
Let her listen to a song once, & she's got it down for good.
Explain something to her, & you will never have to explain it to her again.
The questions that come out of this girl are far beyond her years.
She's been ready & waiting for preschool for a while now....
this mama, not so much.
I had mixed emotions sending her to preschool on that first day.
I was excited to spend one on one time with Penny + get a little break from London.
But, on the other hand, it made me sad that London was already old enough to go to preschool.
However cliche it may sound, time really does FLY.
Wasn't it just yesterday that we were new & nervous parents bringing our first baby home from the hospital for the first time?  It sure seems like it was just yesterday.
The quick passing of time makes me so nervous.  Time doesn't stop & I want to make every moment count with London.  I want to cherish the light that comes into her eyes when she learns something new, I want to remember all those bruises on her legs, I want to always recall her sweet little voice, I want to be certain that in 15 years, I can be certain that I know exactly what a 3 year old London looked like, I want to treasure the love she has for spending quality time with us, I want to remember every single little thing about her just the way she is right now.  Then, I want to remember every single thing about her just the way she will be tomorrow & the next & the next.  I love London so much.  She has taught me numerous more lessons than I will ever teach her.  She is timid, yet friendly.  She is serious, yet funny.  She is head strong, yet has the most tender heart.  She is beautiful inside + out & I am the luckiest that I get to be her mommy. 
I can't believe you are old enough for preschool, my sweet baby girl.
You are such a rock star & I know your future is BRIGHT.
