Sadness & Happiness all in one....

It's not like I didn't know it was coming. I've had plenty of time to prepare myself. I just didn't expect it to be this hard ecspecially since I've been through it once already. Kindergarten - apparently it isn't any easier dropping off your baby when you've already had the drama and trama of dropping off your first child. My super-sweet monkey-baby (we've called her that basically since birth because she hangs and climbs on any and everything) tiny petit little 5 year old started Kindergarten today. I started crying last night as we were doing her "homework" - yes homework before school even started!! We had to trace the outline of our hands so Maddie could show off her family.


I was so proud of my girls though. Maddie held up very well - no crying or hanging on. She seemed a little timid at first, but she's like that pretty much with everything. I was busy holding in my tears and snapping a million pictures. Paige is a pro at the first day of school thing but I was still teary-eyed dropping her off at her classroom.







I just still can't believe that my baby is in Kindergarten!! It's just unbelievable that everything has gone by so fast. Pretty soon Paige will be in High School and Maddie will be in Jr High - not ready!!! I've been crying off and on since we dropped them off, but it will make picking them up that much sweeter this afternoon!
