It is official. Today, I have a kindergartner.
As she donned her two-sizes-two-big school mandated uniform shirt, I bawled.
As she put on her backpack that was half the size she is, I bawled.
As she sat on the gymnasium floor and waited for the rest of the school to assemble for the Pledge of Allegiance, she seemed so small...and I bawled.
As I said a little prayer with her and told her how proud Mommy and Daddy were of her and that she would have an exciting year, I choked back tears (but they showed).
Daddy was choking back tears too (even if he won't admit it...)
It is amazing - a.m.a.z.i.n.g. how fast time goes. I could've sworn she was a tiny baby yesterday, and now this! OK, and again as I write this, I am bawling.
Tomorrow I will put on my "big girl panties" but today I am humbled by how fast life goes.
And I am now going to figure out a way to stunt Emily's growth because I am not sure I can do this again in 2 years!!

And as I read this...I bawled!!! Makes me feel very guilty of the fact that we sometimes forget to stop worrying for a second and realize they are growing way too fast. Great, now I bawling at work! :(
She is going to have such a great year. A tear came to my eyes too. Seeing how fast she has grown.
They do grow way too fast. I miss my babies too. Mine will start 4th and 2nd grades next week! I can't believe it, but I love their ages now too. I love watching them grow and learn.
Enjoy EVERY minute.
Hugs to everyone!
Well you managed to flood my keyboard in a very quick way...
The next thing you will remember, you will be getting her ready for Jr High...very soon followed by HS
Then you will be watching your first grandchild being born and taking their very first breath.
Think I'm kidding?
well, thanks for making Auntie cry! Jeesch!!! I am so proud of her and all that she is going to accomplish this year. I can't believe how fast she's grown up!! :(
Hugs & kisses to my sweet Gator :)
