First day of school

We've been enjoying the last week of summer before this little girl started preschool today. We have been preparing for this day - reading books about what school is like, talking about school, learning her teachers' and friends' names.

She was ready. She went to class without a tear (maybe just a little hesitation).

Everyone who has kids will tell you, it goes by so quickly. And yet, when it's you, you can't help but hope those not-so-fun stages will pass. And then one day you realize you're looking at a child, not the baby you once knew.

I am so proud to be this little girl's mommy.
