Kindergarten!

Natalie started kindergarten today, and tonight at supper she told us that she wishes she could go to kindergarten every day for the rest of her life. I'd call that a successful first day!

She ran out of the school waving and wearing her paper hat that said "I rocked my first day of kindergarten" when we picked her up. She spent the next long while telling us all about her afternoon. (She only goes half days for the first two weeks). It sounds like she had a wonderful day, and she is very excited to go again tomorrow.

I have been so excited for her that I wasn't prepared to cry. The tears came this evening though. It's so bittersweet. It's not that I don't want her to grow up. I love the little girl that she is turning into. I just wish that she could take me with her as she grows. ❤
