Or rather, a few firsts.
The first day of school for my sweet girl.
The first time M. has stayed anywhere without Mommy, Daddy, Grandma, Nana, or Pop-Pop nearby.
The first time Mommy has shopped alone in eons.
The first time Mommy has weathered the car line. Eeep.
The first time Mommy and Daddy have been commanded by M. to reenact "circle time."
and the first, but surely not the last, tears shed over precious, relentlessly fleeting time.
Joyce,
I can feel the emotion because I am a kindergarten teacher and know the feeling. The parents are always sad, the kids are sad at first, but then the fun begins :) Hope she had a great day at school!

Awwww... Miss M looks so precious as she heads off to school. It's so bittersweet to watch them grow up.
