Kindergarten!!!

My little baby is all grown up and going to Kindergarten!!! She was so worried about getting up on time, so I had to show her how alarm clocks work. When I went in to wake her up she just rolled over until I said, "Kindergarten!" Then she shot up in bed all excited and anxious to get going! She was ready before the rest of us since we decided to drop her off at school, and she kept asking, "Is it time to go yet?"

When we got to school there was already a family ahead of us in her classroom, but when I tried to tell her to wait, she just trotted into the room, completely fearless and ready to go. It was like she thought we were holding her back. We got a picture of her with her teacher and then headed out. She barely even said goodbye!

I kept thinking about her throughout the day, and there was a weird quietness at the house without her there. I got so anxious when it was time for the bus to arrive at home. That was the part I was most nervous about. She got off the bus, all grins, and ran and jumped up into my arms! It was so sweet! We showered her with questions and at first she was shy about answering them, but once we started asking more specific questions, she lit up and couldn't stop talking about how much fun she had! She kept saying, "School was so fun! I like school!" It made me feel so happy and relieved! Her little face just looked all lit up and she couldn't stop smiling! She already seems so much older after just one day!!!
