First Day of Kindergarten

With some tears and a special pancake breakfast, my baby girl walked out the door this morning and into the real world of kindergarten.

Her classroom is adorable. Her teacher is lovely and plays the piano and the guitar for them in class. Her best friend from preschool is in her class of 18 kids. She did well, but she was happy to have me by her side today for assurance.

She is very nervous for tomorrow when she starts full days all on her own, no mommy there to hold her hand and ease her worries. A walk to her classroom and a kiss and she'll be gone. I'm not sure which one of us that will be harder on.

I will be fine, and she will be better than fine. If this is anything like preschool, she will flourish.

Breakfast of champions!

Gorgeous!

  1. She looks ADORABLE!!!!!! I just picked up the book "The Kissing Hand" by Audrey Penn. I am sure that Rio will love it and it may just give her a little reassurance.

  6. Yes the Kissing Hand...we bought it for my daughter last year in Kindergarten and she made me read it to her every single night - and I had to kiss her hand every single morning. So cute!
