Sigh..... The 1st Day of School




Well, it is officially here, Erin's first day of school. She has been there for over an hour now and I have finally stopped crying!! She was amazing this morning! Of course there was a big welcoming committee of Amy, Emma, Erika, and her cousin Andreas there to meet her. She also knew a couple of the kids in her class from daycare. She had a couple of little 'Mummy, I want to stay with you' phrases at me, but no big tears. She took her backpack - which looks 1/2 the size of her little body!! - and in she went. I kept up a brave face (with the help of my sunglasses!!) until I watched her go in with all of the other little ones starting on their new adventure as well - then the floodgates opened. It's a strange selfish feeling of being so proud of her yet so overwhelmed that she is starting school already. There has just been too many milestones reached in too short a period of time!!! Anyway, here are a couple of pics of my big girl going off to school. Enjoy!! I'll fill everyone in on how the day went tonight.
