A New Beginning

Today our little lady started Kindergarten. I think I'm still in denial, it just doesn't feel real. It seems like it was just yesterday that she was toddling around naked with her big belly and cowgirl hat on. Time goes by in a flash, yet sometimes it seems like forever.

I made an early donut run to Daylight Donuts up the road in PG to surprise her for her big day. She had a special place at the table with balloons and her new favorite donut, a chocolate glazed bar.

She was beyond excited to wear her new Pumas (they make her run fast like a cheetah) and we walked to and from school. Davey was able to go into work late and Ma Idaho and aunt Susan were in town and joined us for the walk. Reggie didn't know what to think when we left the school without her.

I'm beyond excited for her, but scared at the same time. It's been almost six years of almost strict parental influence, and now she will be surrounded by so many other kids and teachers who will have a huge impact on her life ( I pray for the best influence possible). I know this is an exciting time and she is going to love it, this reason alone trumps my fears, but what I think I'm getting at is that it's hard to let go. And here's to the beginning of a lot of letting go...
