1st day of Kindergarten.

 

I have been thinking about this day all Summer long. I kept wondering how she was going to do. Okay, and how I was going to do, as well. We school shopped, bought the perfect book bag with matching lunch box. She has all of her supplies.

 

A couple weeks ago, we went to the Library and checked out books that pertained to school. I made sure we had, "The Kissing Hand." Last night, she asked if I would draw her a kissing hand in her palm and I thought I was going to lose it right then and there. We also had a chat about being nice to everyone no matter what. After she went to bed, I made her the perfect lunch complete with star shaped sandwiches and a few other healthy sides.

 

Jade got up early and made a big breakfast this morning. Reyna chose her outfit last night. I bought her three new headbands, so that was the only thing she contemplated, which one would look best with her Figaro shirt that Nana & Papa bought her.

 

She was excited to leave and kept asking if we were going to be late. I explained to her that I woke her up nice and early so we would have a lot of time this morning.

 

When we arrived at her school, she was not nervous, but she would also not let go of Jade's hand. Two things I do not want to forget; she was placed at the same table with Alex (my friend Amanda's little boy) & she kissed Roobs goodbye. I know there is going to come a day where she will not want to kiss Ruby goodbye. This is the part where we left. Just like that. We left her. No tears. I was glad it was an easy drop off.

 

I cannot wait to hear about her day. I am glad it is only a half day, since today is her first gymnastics class, as well. She is going to be one tired little lady by the end of the week.

 

A friend of mine posted this on Facebook today. I had to share. I think it sums up the way I am feeling today. Did I cry today? No. BUT, it feels so strange knowing I have been mostly a stay at home mom to Reyna. It is just going to take some getting used to her not being home.
