First Day of School

Today Gracie starts pre k at our local elementary school. I have so many mixed emotions. I'm like any other Mama sending her child to school. I'm apprehensive I hope she likes her teachers, I wonder what she'll learn, I hope the other kids like her, and I want her to love school.

I took her in to her class with huge smiles, then I got out to my car and sobbed like a baby. My baby is taking her first steps of independence and it's bittersweet. I hope she learns the skills I failed to teach her and learns from both the teachers and other children.

Most of all I can't wait until 3 pm when I can go and pick her up.
