Tomorrow, this little girl
begins Kindergarten.
What am I nervous about? She's still going to be home with me. I don't have to leave her at the playground. I don't have to watch her walk into her classroom and then see how quiet my house is with two kids.
But the fact is....she will be in school until she is 18. There is no more going back to those carefree days of no schedule, running around doing whatever. Even though she will be at home with me, doing school, she is still IN school. She is registered and forever it will say that she went to Kindergarten through Utah Virtual Academy. Whether she sticks with it or not doesn't matter to me.
I put her to bed tonight and just stared at her; this long legged creature with crooked front teeth; her hair is always ratty and she likes to pick out her own clothes. She's learning how to take care of her body; she can help me make dinner. When did she grow up? When did I become old enough to have a student in my house?
They don't tell you when you leave the hospital that your heart will continue to break over and over again because of this itty bitty baby.

<3 First day of "school" with that first child is such a mind-blowing thing. Good luck to both of you!
Exciting times! She's growing up and will keep making you proud everyday!
