I don’t think that I remember my first day of school. I remember the start of each school year but I don’t remember the my very first day of school. As a child I guess it was really a big deal. As a parent it’s a HUGE deal. The excitement is overwhelming. School is a big deal. Going out into the world where you have to basically look after yourself (of course the teacher helps… more than you know) but no mommy and daddy by your side. It’s such a big step!!!
Yesterday, my daughter took that step. Taylor attended her first day of Kindergarten. Talking with Taylor the night before was a little daunting. She was so nervous with so many question (how would she learn, who would help her with her homework). After answering all of the question sufficiently (at least I hope) she went off to sleep. By the time I awoke the next morning, she was already up, had eaten breakfast and was brushing her teeth. She was really excited as I helped her put her clothes on. Of course I had to grab the camera and document this amazing moment.
When she came home she was so excited and said that she had such a good day which made me really happy!
