Thanks so much for your nice comments about my girls. I love them so much. It just seems like yesterday I changed Emma’s first diaper and now she’s starting to make her way out into the world. I’m coming to realize that as a parent you are dying a thousand tiny deaths. You don’t want them to stop needing your and you don’t want them to go, but that IS the purpose of all this. For me the hardest part was leading up to the day. For those of you who haven’t made it to this point yet, it will be bittersweet, but your pride will overcome all of that.

Awww… what a big girl! Love the photos!

I got a little weepy when I dropped Peanut off for her first day of preschool this week. It hit me (finally) that this is just the beginning of many small separations that are going to draw her away from me into her own world.

So darling! I have two boys, I love her pose. I can relate to the weepiness right now.

Oh my gosh are they cute. I have been reading so many first day of school posts lately…I don’t know how you all let them go!

Jennifer, your girls are lovely. What great pictures of a very momentous occasion. I’m glad she was so happy about kindergarten … certainly makes it easier for Mommy that way!

Cute! I’ve got a few years left before I’ll be packing up my kids to go to school. I’m sure it will be here before I know it.

I remember Love You Hate You Miss You by Elizabeth Scott being a good book. Sadly, it has fallen ill to the passage of time. I read it much too long ago and I simply can not remember anything abou[...]

Awwwww. Damn, they grow up way too fast, don’t they? Before you know it, she’ll be asking to borrow the car keys. I must leave now before I get all misty-eyed.

I hope she had a wonderful first day! I remember my mother waiting for me when I got home from my first day of school — she took a picture of me just as I was getting off the bus. (She drove me to school every morning, I only rode the bus on the way home.) That picture means a lot to me now, and I’m sure these photos will mean a lot to Emma when she’s older.

Jenn,

We both have been officially initiated into kindergarteness, huh?

Chloe’s first comment was “There’s this room called the cafeteria and it’s like a restaurant.”

Oh my! Wait til she has the food.

Thanks for posting the pics. Nice to “see” you and your adorable girls. I posted my kindergarten pics on my blog today as well. Aren’t we proud mamas?

Hearts,

Thanks everyone! Emma did have a great day. She had so much fun at school and has met a handful of new friends. The best quote of the day’s recap was, “I didn’t want the chicken patty, but the pizza was SO gross. When I saw Hailey scarf down the chicken patty I said, ‘Tomorrow, I’m getting the chicken patty. I really, really am. I swear’”

Dawn, my youngest has two years and I know that it will be easier in some ways because she’ll be with Emma and harder in some ways because there will be no more babies in the house.
