my turn.

Photobucket

it's your turn.
i don't remember the last time i saw you this excited.
i don't remember the last time i was this sad.
you have been dancing the "i get to go to school today" jig all morning.
we curled your hair, we got you dressed in your new outfit, you grabbed your new backpack, and we went to your first day of pre-school.

you danced and sang the whole way there.
i cried the whole way home.

i guess it's my turn to grow up.

She is so beautiful and I'm so glad she is spreading her wings.....she will LOVE it! I'm sorry that you cried, but I totally understand.........it is SO hard to watch our babies grow up!!!! So bittersweet! It's a good thing she is only gone two and a half hours twice a week, huh?! You can make it through mama!

She is soooo adorable, I love how excited she is about it, and it is so Avery to sing and dance her way there, I love that about her, too cute!

Before you know it you will be reading about your little Grandchild heading off for their first day of school, and your heart will be filled with joy and your mind with memories of your little ones first days of school.

Enjoy each moment in the moment.

Love Ya,

They grow so fast! I remember when you were that little girl singing her way to her first day of school!

Ali starts school on the 15th, so too is soooo excited, and Charity is so sad!

As a grandma and great aunt however it makes me proud that my babies are growing! I love all my little guys and gals sooo much!

Give her a big hug from me and the boys too!
