First Day of Kindergarten

I can't believe my little bug is a kindergartener! She has been so excited for school to start. Kindergarten is only half-day, which will be a breeze after all-day preschool in Louisiana. Sure makes it hard for me to work though. Kylie woke up earlier than usual because she was so excited. However, once we put her new shoes on (which I bought special to match this outfit) she got a long face. The shoes just didn't fit right. It pretty much ruined her whole morning. I walked her into class and she wasn't excited anymore. Guess I should have been a better mom and let her wear comfy shoes on the first day instead of wanting the picture-perfect Gap look. Kids that age don't care, but it's fun for me, which shows just how uneventful my life is. She was all smiles when I picked her up at 11:30. My sister, Laura, works at McDonalds and wanted Kylie to stop by after school for a special first-day treat. We celebrated with a Happy Meal and an ice cream cone. Last night I came into her room to kiss her cheek before I went to bed (something I have done every night of her life) and it hit me that it was her last day being a little kid, that she's going to school for the next 12 years+ and will never be the little girl she once was. Sure, she's done pre-school, but its not the same. I quickly thought of something else so I wouldn't cry. She's growing up so fast!
