The best thing about the first day of school is it is so hectic and crazy that if you get caught up in the whirlwind of new clothes, shoes, and backpacks...taking pics in the backyard with the cute signs...without the cute signs...funny pics...serious pics...the "I have had enough" pics...getting all the school forms signed...taking pics by the car (because that is what Memaw did to Mommy every year)...running late...forgetting the name tag...taking pics outside the school...inside the school...in the hallway...
When it comes time to actually do the "have a great day...you will be great" part...it is hard to get all emotional...
Combine that with my kiddo who was so excited about meeting new friends, seeing new classrooms, and just experiencing everything about Kindergarten that she could barely hug and kiss me good-bye...
The end result is a Mom who could cry if I really sat and thought about it...but after seeing all of Dotty's excitement I chose to be excited instead of sad.
I am so thankful I am raising an independent, self-confident, fun loving, life living, friend making, risk taking, no fear kind of girl.
She is so amazing.
As I watched her take it all in today...and as I saw her so excited to start this new adventure...I couldn't help but bust with pride.
My Dotty has always been so full of life and has a true joy for living it...and that includes going off to Kindergarten.
So how can a Mom cry over something as wonderful as that?!?! Truth is...you just can't help but smile! :)
