so today was the big day...

the day my baby became a kindergartner. She was so excited this morning. When I got out of the shower she was laying in our bed with a big grin on her face. For once she didn't argue about getting dressed, brushing her teeth, doing her hair or anything. I did very well until we were walking out the door and I helped her put her backpack on. She looked like such a big girl, like she was ready to take on the world. I am not usually an emotional person and for some reason this whole school thing has really gotten to me. I am tearing up writing this. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME!!! Scott took the day off today so Mr. B, Daddy and I were able to take her to school today. We were there early so we had to wait for the classroom to open. She started to kiss all of us and then stood off to the side. Not too long after the door opened and she just started walking away. She is definitely my independent child. I asked her if I could take one more picture and she told me no. The nerve! When she turned to walk to class she didn't look back once. Just like her first day of preschool she blew us off! Imagine that. she didn't want all the mushy stuff she just wanted to get in their and start her day. I am so proud of her for being that independent person that loves to learn but at the same time that tiny part of me wants her to be my baby forever. I think that is something every mom struggles with and something we will never get over. Here is some pictures of my girly on her first day with her new outfit, shoes, underwear,hair ribbon and backpack!

My independent girl who is too cool to stand next to her Mom and Dad...

Yesterday we went and met her teacher and saw her classroom. I didn't post any pictures because I left my camera at my parent's house. So, here is Ms. K with her teacher and making her name tag that shows how she gets home from school.

Brendan was so cute, when we were getting out of the car at school yesterday he asked me "Mama, I big 'nough go to school too?" Awww....not him too. I am definitely not ready for him to go to school yet!

So after we dropped Ms. K off at school, Scott, Mr. B and I went on a date. Well actually Mr. B and I usually go on a date after we drop Ms. K off at school (once a week) but this time we let Daddy go to our secret date spot... the airport. It was a busy day at the airport. We ate our breakfast and went outside to watch five airplanes take off, two land and one get gas or as Mr. B calls it, "get pumped". Time to run...gotta get laundry put away before we pick up Ms. K! Hope everyone is having a great week!
