Marleigh goes to Preschool!

Wait... that can't be right.  Little Miss Marleigh that was sooooo little for sooooo long is old enough for preschool?  Yep, she sure is!  And she sure is happy about it!  

Marleigh has been giddy with excitement the last few days. She has been talking about Preschool nonstop. As I walked her in this morning, she kind of stopped and said, "I'll be fine, Mom.  You can just go."  Well, sweetheart, I know that you will be fine, but maybe Mommy needed to walk you in, for my own sake.

I didn't cry as I left her, I waited until I was back at the car.  They weren't sad tears because she is growing up so fast, they were tears of joy.  Born so tiny and fragile, there were times we didn't know if she would be around to go to preschool.  Once that scare was over, we waited to see what the long term effects would be from being born fourteen weeks early.  Purely by the grace of God, she has zero disabilities.

As the big fat tears rolled down my face, an overwhelming feeling of happiness and gratitude filled my heart.    God has richly blessed us with this special little girl.  I am incredibly thankful that she has the chance to grow up and go to preschool.
