I still am in shock--how is it possible that my little girl is in Kindergarten??? Wasn't she just born?? So, maybe her mom wasn't ready, but
Anistyn certainly was. She was so excited all day. She woke up and asked me if it was time to get ready yet. She has afternoon Kindergarten, so I told her we weren't going until after lunch time. She was so wired all morning. Finally, it was time to get ready. She was hopping around the house saying "I can't wait for Kindergarten!" over and over again. I, on the other hand, had butterflies all morning just thinking about it. Then it came time to leave. We went with my friend Nina and her daughter Cass. They are both in the same class, which makes it nice for us moms and a little easier on the girls. Since this was both mine and Nina's first time sending a child off to Kindergarten, we decided to tackle it together. We showed up a little early to get some pics of the girls. You can't see it in the picture, but on the banner it says "I will be college-ready, class of 2022". Class of 2022???? Somehow that doesn't seem too far away. After some pictures the kids started to line up in their classes. I was able to hold it together until they started filing into the school--then I lost it. I cried most of the 2 1/2 hours she was gone. I knew she was in good hands, but I also knew that time would go even faster now. Why can't she stay 5 forever??? I'm learning to enjoy each stage as it comes and not wish the time away--especially now that it seems to be traveling at lightening speeds!

This is so sad! This part (if it ever happens) is going to be so hard for me... I dread it because I will be just as bad if not worse ..... All this emotional stuff....ugh.... I am going to be such a cry baby
Love the pink and black! And her hair is so cute! Your little girl is growing up....
Can't believe it - she looks so big (and so cute). I know about the crying - hopefully it will get easier with Stockton (well...maybe not).
Okay, I'm only telling you this because I'm your friend and I love you. Hold on and get ready for more trauma! ;) Seriously though, I think it's hard having two kids because everything is either a first with the oldest (and so it's traumatic) or it's sentimental because it's the last time with the second child. My poor boys probably think every milestone starts the waterworks (because it does). It just means we love them, right? :) She is so cute in her little pink skirt! How is she liking it?
