big "K"

i can honestly say that i cannot believe that this day has arrived!  today we went to kindergarten.  i just got home from dropping her off.  yep, the mom who doesn't cry when her kids get shots shed tears this afternoon.  i didn't think that i would, and i'm not sure that i am conscious of the reasoning behind it....probably because i am so excited for her.  alan makes so much fun of me because i loved elementary school (he says he sees the brown on my nose).  i know she is so excited too!  all morning it was, "mother, is it time yet?  when can we go?  is it time yet?  i'll get the keys!  is it time yet?"  (yeah, do you like that i used "mother" instead of mom....she no longer calls me mom or mommy, just "mother.") i just hope she has a very fulfilling year, learning new things, making friends and having fun.  kylee you are such a great kid, we love you so much and hope you are having a great day at school....you BIG KINDERGARTNER YOU!

It is hard to believe Kylee is so big. Time truly goes by too fast. Hopefully next week won't be as hard on you.

Isn't it sad?!? Zak started Kindergarden this year too. He had a half day on the 18th and doesn't go back until the 25th. He asks every morning, is it today that I get to go again?
