This post title pretty much just says it all, doesn't it. We received their K-school schedule today. They are starting school in July. In.July. Yes. In.July......(do you get that I am shocked...in.ten.weeks.....!!). My first reaction?.....well, my first reaction was....."No, oh please not yet...". My second reaction? My second reaction was..."I want another baby....". :)
Hey....wait.....they are only 32 pounds and they still wear size 3....How can they go.to.School???
So what is really creating the stress? Here's what it is......They are inseparable. Simply inseparable. They do everything (everything) together. The other day when I picked them up from school, I peered through their classroom window (behind blinds) and watched them play on the playground for about 20 minutes. They were holding hands the entire time. (remember, Jeanette....I was on the phone with you.....crying.....).....I watched them both flit-and-prance from child to child all across the playground while holding hands the entire time. Oh my. And...here's the deal....When they go to school, we are absolutely separating them. They need to be in separate classrooms doing their individual things and developing their own selves. I truly believe that is the right course but...oh...my.....they have never been separated. Oh dear.....why can't Time just go slooower some how.....I just love this time and this age and this everything. Ah.....
So.....both J and C both have good ideas......I need to organize separate play group activities for them this summer before school starts in..gulp.....10 weeks....
I need to get them ready for this. I need to buy them supplies. I need to get cute school clothes. I need to get them ready for this. I need to buy lunchboxes....I...I........I need to get ME ready for this, don't I.......??
gulp....
hugs,

Oh no! I feel your pain, I'm not at all ready for Kindergarten emotionally. Because of Katie's late (mid-December) birthday, she can't start K until 2011 -- she'll be doing a year of Young 5's at a nearby preschool (and Ella will be in 3 day a week 4 year preschool at the same place).
Friends of ours with twin girly-os like yours put their girls in K together so they could get used to the whole idea of school together and then separated them for 1st and beyond. Might be an option for you too.
And, fwiw, I think you need another baby, too! : )
BIG HUGS....
I can't imagine what you are going through..
Hugs...
All three of you will be A-OK! Your girls will flourish, and will have all sorts of new tales and experiences to share when reunited at home (or on the playground at recess, etc.)
Take lots of pictures, and enjoy... :)
I feel your pain! I'm not there yet, but I am going to be a big basketcase. And yes, I've thought EXACTLY that thought of yours... When she goes to school, I need another baby!!!
I think the seperation will be good, but the transition will be hard.
Oh my.
Hugs.
