Tomorrow morning, Pete and I will walk Sarah to her first day of kindergarten. I can't believe this big day in our lives is here already. I know many people will roll their eyes or laugh off the idea of kindergarten being a big deal. But to me, it really is feeling like a big deal. I have been truly blessed to stay home with Sarah since she was born. I have loved watching the small and large moments of her life unfold. I really can't imagine what life will look like with her away from home 5 days a week.
I know she is ready. She is an outgoing, happy and bright little girl. I know she'll make friends easily. She has a wonderful teacher who is a strong Christian women, I praise God for that. It's her mama who will be a big wreck tomorrow. It's me who will miss our days at the zoo, family lunches on the porch, and lazy afternoon naps snuggled in my bed.
Pete and I have made two moves to get into a great school district, knowing one day soon Sarah would be off to kindergarten, but it's hard to believe that that day is tomorrow.

Talk soon,

Congratulations to all of you! It IS a really big day in all of your lives and it will be just wonderful, you'll see. Emily may miss her a lot, too, but at least she'll have "special" mommy, daddy time, too. Sarah will feel accomplished and proud and it will make your time together that much more special. We're so proud of her and miss her tons! Yeah, Sarah!!!! Sophie loves you!
It is one of many more huge days. Its a big deal and an exciting new path. I sure it will go great, for both of you!
How did you do?
i actually totally get your nervousness. With my kids not going to preschool, kindergarten will be the first time they go to school everyday completely away from me. At "back to school" time this year I've been flooded with thoughts of what it'll be like next year when brooklyn goes to school next year. Yikes. Our lives will look a lot different.
I'm glad it went well!
