She is off.
A big Kindergartner.
Getting on a big yellow school bus.
So excited!
As for this mama? Today is bittersweet. I am so happy for her to make new friends and learn SO much, but it feels like these last 5 and a half years have flown by – Kindergarten today and before I know it she’ll be graduating from high school and off to college. As I cried my eyes out thinking about it last night, I came across this poem which pretty much sums up all my mixed emotions.
Our oldest, Big Sister, is headed off to Kindergarten! How is that possible? I feel like we brought her home from the hospital (scared sh*tless at being responsible for a tiny human) just the other day!! And tomorrow is her first full day as a Kindergartner!!?!
Earlier this week was Open House. She was just so excited to go and meet her teacher, see who was in her class and start being a “Big Kid”.
Today was transition day. Again, she was SO excited. She woke up early. Got dressed quickly. Ate breakfast. Let me brush out her hair….without fussing (this was a HUGE deal)!! Smiled for a few pictures. And we were off.
When they called her teacher’s name – she ran off without hesitation. The first one to stand in line.
I know she is ready for this next part of life, but me…not so much!
