We have been going to these sessions since September in preperation of kindergarten for the Fall of 2011.
Today was her first day where I actually left her there!
In the past sessions we have been going after supper and doing different activities.
But today was her first day where she actually got to go to class with the current kindergarten class.
She has been so excited since I reminded her a few days ago that she would be going. She picked out her own clothes this morning, ate her breakfast with no help ( usually I'm at her to eat & stop playing but not this time!). She even requested that I curl her hair for the big day. She wanted to look "cute". That was her word by the way not mine. She always looks cute!
She had absolutely no problem staying there. As I knew she wouldn't. She is a very independant girl! Now picking her up might be another story. I have a feeling she is not going to want to leave! She's only there for a few hours little does she know!
When I walked her to her classroom - the kindergarten teacher - Mrs.L took her by the hand & told her to " say bye to mom " she came instead came over hugged both of her brothers & then kisses & hugged me & said
" I'm a big girl now. Don't worry mom, I'll be home soon. " and flashed that innocent, sweet smile of hers and walked away.
She definately is growing up - way to fast.
It's different without her here. Sounds stupid, I know. But it's how it is. And surprisingly its kind of quieter here too! I'm amazed at the sound difference with just one child gone!
Well I'm off to finish up my housework. I should make use of this time & try & get some things done. Tune in later - I'm sure I'll have plenty of stories & things to share about her first day. Lord knows Sara's is gonna tell me every second of here 2 in a half hours there. Which I don't mind either! Expect that it's a constant reminder that she's no longer my little baby. But she will always be my baby girl <3 .

ps.
This pic displays her personiality to a tee! Such a joker!
This day I took this pic, we were having a little "photoshoot" of our own using the webcam on the laptop. She just loved to make silly faces at - well - herself!
Thought I would post a pick so you could see who this sweet baby girl was that I have been going on and on about!
