Today is Annie's first day of kindergarten. She's my fourth and final (and only girl), so this is pretty bittersweet for me. She got dressed all on her own. She put on her favorite dress, cute little knee high socks, and I curled her hair. She put on her little dangly earrings shaped in cups of milk (I put on the ones shaped like bacon strip with googly eyes, you know, cuz bacon) and then finally her Minnie mouse pink backpack.
She looked absolutely adorable if I do say so myself.
So we leave for school and I told her I was taking her to daycare school and then they would take her to her new elementary school on their bus. The plan was for me to meet her at her new school. I wanted her to know where the bus would drop her off and pick her up after school.
She looked right at me and told me she didn't want me to meet her there! Excuse me what? She said she was a big girl now, going to a big girl school and she'd be fine. She then said Ryan, her 9 year old brother, would be there if she needed anything!
I told her ok, but of course I'm waiting here in the parking lot for her right now.
She's growing up way too fast!
