The day when she would walk into school on her own. I jsut didn't think it would be this year. I wasn't ready for that. There have been no tears, yet. They will come later in the shower as I replay today in my mind. And last year, and the year before...it was just yesterday that she learned her ABC's. My girl continues to grow and while it pleases my soul that she is healthy, it breaks my heart that someday she will be too big to cuddle sweetly in my arms.
Last night she packed her lunch and laid out her clothes, complete with accessories. Earrings, watch, a sweater that she picked out. I wanted to take a picture but got sidetracked. I need to stop getting sidetracked...I did get the note tucked in her lunch though.
She got up at 6 this morning, got dressed and ate her donuts and asked me to straighten her hair and she read the note when she double checked her lunch.
She was nervous riding to school... and yet so ready to go. She jumped out of the car and didn't look back. Which was a blessing in disguise, because we both would have lost it. Can't wait till she gets home to tell me all about it.
