1st day of school

Well the 1st day of Kindergarten finally arrived. I woke her up this morning and she was excited and ready to go. She is not a morning person so getting her out of bed is always a challenge, but not this morning! We had picked out her new clothes to wear and packed her lunch and snack the night before so all that was ready. We washed her hair and I braided it. I wore my hair just like that on my first day of school so I wanted her to wear hers like that too. So after the photo session (which she kept saying "Hurry up we are going to be late!") we got in the car. Since we are just right across the street I let her ride up front. She held my hand and said "Mommy please don't cry." (HOW SWEET!) So we got there and i asked her if she wanted me to walk her in. "No momma just pull up there and I will get out." So I pulled up to where the teachers were, they opened the door and before I could blink she was out the door "Bye Momma (as she ran to the door), I know where I am going Mrs. Sheffield's room!" So I didn't even get a kiss! She was off and on her way. Needless to say I tried to be a big girl and not cry like she asked and I didn't. I didn't really have time to think about it. I am very proud of her and that she was so excited and didn't cry. The only experience I've had with Kindergarten was with Casey and that was not pretty so I had prepared myself for the worst, but BOY was I surprised! I have to pick her up in about 30 min. I have thought about her all day and can't wait to hear about how everything went. I'll post more tonight......
