How? How can they be three and ready for preschool? It feels like just yesterday I was sitting on the couch in our NICU room looking at size newborn clothes and thinking it would be years before they fit. It feels like just a couple of weeks ago, my husband (Aerol) and I were sitting on the floor cheering the trips on to take their first steps. It feels like just last month we were working on saying “mama and dada”.
We walked up to their door and waited for their teacher to come outside. Then they lined up on the faded red (now pink) line and waited until all their little friends were ready to go inside. They gave me hugs and kisses and we said our goodbyes. Trae made sure to give me an extra hug and kiss. The para took Tashi and Trae’s hands. Trae made sure to hold Arya’s hand and they walked inside. They didn’t cry at all, nor did I. They did great. I started to walk home pushing an empty wagon. It was then the waterworks started.
Now here I am sitting at the table typing and I can hear the clock ticking. It is so quiet I can hardly stand it. I know they are at preschool having a blast and learning lots. They are socializing with their peers and making new friends. They are listening to others talk which allows them to learn how to communicate better. Not to mention all the other things they are going to learn.
Time sure does fly. I am so proud of how far they have come. They have overcome so many obstacles throughout their little lives so far and I am beyond excited for what life holds next.
