Growing

Hello my pretties!

Today's topic: Growing kids

I have a 5 year old baby girl. Today, was her first day of school. I've always known my sappy self would probably cry the day I had to drop her off. I'd like to say that I was at least able to contain my little episode until I got home. Her father and I took her and were very proud to see her off. Really, it was funny because I expected to see some hesitation or apprehension from her. Nope, non of that. She walked into class with her teacher, said hello, and marched her little but to the empty seat. Soon as she did all her little classmates got up and around her trying to meet and play. All the while I stood there listening to the teacher and hoping my baby would come back and hug me one last time.

No such luck. I am absolutely sad, yes, but, I'm even more proud of her for being such a trooper and diving right in. She'd been excited to know she was soon going to school so I should have known she'd do good. When we got home, my hubby and I kind of just sat there looking at the pictures we took of her before dropping her off and eventually we both had tears rolling down our faces. We had our moment but in the end, like I said, we are very proud.

So, there you have it for now. Do you have any kids? Little nieces, nephews, or siblings you've dropped off? If so, what was your reaction?

Ciao for now!
