Last Wednesday, I sent my girl off to Kindergarten. She is totally ready, and beyond excited to be moving on up to her "Big Girl School". Not sure if mama is quite ready, but I managed to NOT cry, anyway. Her favorite part, of course, was the bus ride home. That, of course, was my most anxiety inducing part. This anxiety was validated the next day when the school accidentally...(gasp)...PUT HER ON THE WRONG BUS!
Not to worry, she just got the dime tour of the neighborhood and a ride back to school where I picked her up. I made record time driving home from work.
My silly girl...
being, well, silly.
Sporting her new backpack and double french braids.
Cuddled up before heading out for her big day.
(read: death grip on my babies childhood ;)
Pretty happy day for all of us.
How did this sweet baby face....
...turn into this big girl, in, what seems like, a blink of an eye.
Though, tempered with anxiety and nostalgia, I couldn't be prouder of my beautiful baby girl.
