Worker Bee #3 Has Left the Nest

Tuesday my little Worker Bee #3 left the nest and headed off to preschool for the first time without looking back.  I thought I was all prepared for this day.  Who wouldn't be???  A couple of hours for Queen Bee and I to spend some quality time together, just by our girl selves.  This did not go as I had planned....



As #3 and I arrived at preschool we discussed how I would be leaving him at school and be back to pick him up a few hours later.  I should have known how things would go when I got absolutely NO reaction to me leaving him there.  We walked in and one look at all the toys and kids and he was off.  No goodbye, no hug, no "Mom, can you stay here with me?"!!!  I suppose this is what I should have hoped for but as I drove away tears came to my eyes as I realized my little buddy was gone.  He was the one who was always at home with me to have some good conversation and a good laugh.  Queen Bee wasn't going to be able to provide that for me for awhile and currently was more interested in having a nap than entertaining me.

When I picked up #3 from preschool I was very excited to hear how his day went.  When I asked him he just walked towards the door and said "Boooooring!!!"  What???  I could you be bored with this many kids and toys.  When asked if he was coming back the next day he turned and looked at me and said, "Uh, yeah!!!"  So as we discussed his day on the way home I learned everything that had happened that day, including him meeting his teacher with the Iowa State shirt on who he swears has Awesome for a name.

So I guess now my mornings will consist of me getting some things done around the house while #3 enjoys every moment at preschool and Queen Bee naps away in complete silence with her big brother out of the house.  Us girls will just have to come up with some activities of our own while all the worker bees are away.  I'm thinking maybe a few photo shoots to start us off.....
