Madilyn's First Day of School

I didn't go..... I thought I'd just rip the bandaid off and let her leave the nest. Sniff Sniff. But the friend that takes her and pickes her up 3 days a week promised to take pictures and she did a wonderful job!!!

Madilyn was soooooo excited! Here she is leaving the car and walking in on her own. She had her backpack loaded down with lunch box.

Dear Sweet Madilyn,
I can't believe you are so anxious to leave me! I'm happy your independent and sure of yourself and I'm thrilled you feel safe and secure and desire to learn. I love that any time we drive past your school you yell at all of us that its YOUR school and make sure we know what a big girl you are. I love that you are eager to tell me about your day and show me your papers.
I hope that this first school of many brings you joy and a fun start to your education. I love you and miss you so much when we are away from each other.

Mom
