This morning I took the official Backpack picture. She had her new pencil box, and a jacket in her backpack. She looked so cute, and she was so excited for her first day.
I got her out of the Truck, and she new exactly where the Kindergarten door was. It goes right into her classroom. I didn't really think too much of it at the time. There she goes....
She turned back, for one last picture....
And pretty soon, she was gone. Ok, I'm probably making way too big of a deal of this, except that Bree is my first. When I got back into the car, Elle started screaming for Bree. I'm serious...it was bad. She was trying to escape her car seat. She was so loud. She was so sad. She wanted her sister. Why were we leaving her here and not taking her with us? It was horrible. I ended up taking Elle to Target for a toy. We needed a distraction. Finally, things were ok. Sort of. 
I was fine until we picked her up today. I could see her waiting with her teacher by the door. There were so many kids, and parents, and I couldn't park and get to her fast enough. I was only feet away, and I started to cry. I couldn't wait to wrap my arms around her!! Oh I love my girl so much!! Bree I missed you today :) WE missed you today. You were so happy, telling me how much fun you had at school. I'm so happy for you.

oh, cute little bree. she is so ready to conquer the world. what a big girl. it is okay to cry. i probably will too next year! it will get easier i am sure.
Awwww, she's so big! I cry just thinking about kindergarten next year...so it seems like you did a great job!
If it makes you feel any better... I cried when Jordan (my 17 year old) started his senior year this past Wednesday. Sorry to tell you, it doesn't get any easier! Except I do think that you and I are in the minority. Most of my friends LOVE to get their kids off to school! I know its just part of life to watch your children grow up, but these milestones are tender moments for me! Glad I'm not the only one! Bree is a doll. Good luck!
