Today has finally come. A day I knew would be here before I know it - I am pretty sure I made it clear she wasn't allowed to grow up. If only it was that easy to control.
Today Hannah started Kindergarten.
She woke up extra early, had a yummy breakfast, yet wasn't quite herself - a big change from the days before as we counted down to the big day. You could clearly see she was excited, yet very nervous. She gave me lots of hugs all morning long and telling me how much she loved me. Boy, this wasn't going to be easy!
Mia stayed close to her side on the walk to school. She was going to really miss her big sister too.
The BIG question - did mom cry? Of course!! Dropping her off took longer than I hoped. I actually did really well until Hannah's hugs wouldn't end and she was in tears begging me to stay. It just broke my heart. I know my tears didn't help, but I did all I could to encourage and remind her how fun and exciting her day would be.

The day slowly dragged on for Mia and Mommy until we could pick her up. I am not sure who was more excited when the time finally came - Mia, Me, or maybe Hannah?
On the walk home Hannah told us about her day. She loved recess. Loved lunch. Loved art class. But was too nervous to meet new friends and too sad to ready books.
As a big surprise, Daddy took the afternoon off to spend time with all his girls doing one of his favorite things - Fishing! Overall it was an amazing day. Hopefully, in time, she'll be less nervous and more excited about going to school.
