We're all adjusting to the new school year over here in our house.
(Not included in this statement: missing the bus the third day of school, forgetting both girls nametags on the first day, forgetting Gracie's folder…)
The girls are exhausted, but the one having the hardest time in Colin.
He is walking around the house crying, "cee-ceeeeesss!" ("sissies!") He doesn't want to play, just sit in their room. We have to drop Gracie off at school after lunch and walk her in to the school. Where we usually see Ellie sitting in the cafeteria eating her lunch. So you can understand why he gets so sad.
Tuesday, he brought his little lunchbox into the school with him. I didn't notice until we were in the school and he was pointing at Ellie. He wanted to go eat lunch with her! He cried the whole way out "Mama! Wunchbox! WUNCHBOX!" It was so heartbreaking!
Every day he cries the whole way home…
Its hard to be the littlest one.
About Melissa
My 2-yr-old is a little “lost” riding with me to daycare too since big sis used to be right beside her. She goes, “Where Naia go?”. And when I am on the phone with big sis after she has gone home from kindergarten, she tells me, “When are you going to pick-up Gianna? I miss her.”

The poor little guy! He just loves his sisters. It is sweet.
Poor Colin! Ben hasn’t been crying, but he hasn’t left my side in 4 days. He doesn’t want to play with toys, he just wants to talk (and talk and talk) to me. I agree — it is hard to the littlest!
I still remember sitting at the end of the driveway waiting for my sister to get home from kindergarten.
Poor Colin. Maybe he should do the 2 day with Teacher Rhonda in January. She is so fabulous and it would give him 2 exciting mornings out on his own? Of course then he would be missing “sissy” on those days too
