and she's off


I don't know when you decided you were so independent, but this morning we dropped you off at your friend's house and you stayed for hours. When you got home you just said you wish you could have stayed forever. It's great that you have such wonderful friends. School started two weeks ago and it's taken a little adjustment. You are excited about your teacher and your friends, but there are still tears most days. The reason for that is that I can no longer walk you to your classroom and give you hugs and kisses until you're ready for me to leave. You have a designated spot on the playground to line up with your class and I get to give you a kiss and hug and watch you walk away inside the building. You have a new best friend who's name is Olivia. Of course I bought you a pair of eggshells to wear to school, but they weren't quite girly enough for you so we decided to Bedazzle them and add puff paint and now you don't leave the house without them. I'm so glad you have stayed true to your sense of style.
