Josie's First Day of School

Well I just got back from dropping off what I still consider to be my baby for her first day of school...real school...kindergarten. I can't believe it - I don't know how it happened it so fast and if I could rewind these last 5 years and do them over and over again, I would in a heart beat. Josie was amazing. The first thing she said to me this morning as she walked into the lighted kitchen rubbing her eyes was, "I can't believe I'm old enough to go to my first day of school already." Well, Josie, I can't believe it either - you said it girl. The ride/run over went great and everyone was so filled with excitement. Even Isabelle made up a little song (to the tune of Farmer in the Dell)...it went like this:

Josie went to school, Josie went to school, 

hi-ho-derry-o - Josie went to school

And drop off went spectacular. Josie sat right down in her spot and started playing with the little activity the teacher had ready for her. Wow - what a sight that was. You didn't waiver, hesitate or even look back. You were so brave and you did so outstanding Josie - WOW! I have to say that I was able to hold it all together because of your bravery and courage. So thank you Josie for being strong for your Momma. It was a wonderful morning. I miss you already, but I know you are having a wonderful day learning and growing into the beautiful young lady you are. 

Here is to many more first days of school - may they all go this smoothly and with such eagerness and excitement as today held.
